Peter, the latest is to send a CD with all the details!

Peter:
The CDS statement or the annual report of member companies?

Now the deviants are reverting to CD format.What a bummer!

Peter:
At least they are saving a few trees now instead of sending a 2 inch thick annual report that I have never bothered to read anyway.

You’re telling me.In the good ole bad ole days, at least you’d have a scrip for the shares you hold.That way if the shares become worthless, you could use them as toilet paper,wallpaper your storeroom or make paper airplanes with them. Now,its all lost in the information highway.Hasta la vista,bend down and kiss your a** goodbye baby!

We have to thank those imaginative guys who came out with credit default swaps, astronomical leverages and derivatives.
Looks like I’ll have to work just a bit longer.

Peter:
They still issue statements on a half-yearly basis. You can use those as toilet paper, frame it up and hang it in your living room or make paper planes out of it still.
