Shaping the future of finance

Greek debt

Various cartoons and images amused me last week.

First was Brookes cartoon in the Times about Greek debt:

And, in the same newspaper, the uneasy ride that Angela Merkel is taking with Nicholas Sarkozy as they try to steer through this disaster and his upcoming elections:

Then I found this gate on my journeys:

Forecasting stone

And thought it would be perfect for the regulators and banks to use, but with money instead of a stone:

Forecasting condition

Money is wet                    Times are bad, so lend less
Money is dry                    No one needs any, so lend more
Shadow on money         Gordon Brown is around
White on top                    Investment guys have been snorting
Can't see money             Ponzi scheme in operation
Swinging money            Casino capitalism is in operation
Money gone                    Casino capitalism has failed

But none of these can beat the image of myself as a zombie banker:

Thanks to Al Davison for the artwork.
