Did you listen to Kim's music. It is an interesting combination of Rebecca Black [this video] and Justin B. I like it. My life is precious. I get to choose who I am. Words to live by. I wonder why he isn't getting more attention for his music...

on HN thread Deutsche Bank Shares Plunge in Renewed Bout of Stress
I'm pretty sure bankers hate this song [1] by now. On a more serious note, this was to be expected, I was basically asking the same thing on here a few days ago [2] and I'm not an institutional investor handling billions of dollars/euros in investments. I do wonder though when it will all stabilise? Will it stabilise? Is there anything stabile left to stabilise, so to speak? [1] [this video] [2] [link]
