His relatively low salary was $3.2 million a year. God, the sacrifices this gentleman made.

Yeah, but Switzerland is an expensive place to live -- more expensive than Greenwich, Connecticut even.

That's just middle class there.

Jamie Dimon earned more than $20 million last year. Lloyd Blankfein earned more than $13 million. Brady Dougan, the CEO of Credit Suisse, UBS' biggest competitor, earned $14 million last year (and that was after a pay cut because profits dropped).

Yes, $3.2 million is a relatively low salary for that job. Sorry.

I type that and it automatically starts the stupid posts suggesting that I said that $3 million isn't a lot of money.

Or the "What a hero" post, after I simply said that Gruebel came out of retirement, doesn't mind going back into retirement, and obviously offered himself up as the ceremonial sacrificial lamb, because getting out isn't going to be a big deal for him. He's an older man who had already put himself in retirement once.

But a few of you don't bother to actually read what I post. You just jump in with things suggesting I am saying more than what I am, to fit the picture you want to paint of my posts.

So that's the guy I saw at the interstate exit holding up the sign that read, "Will run your bank for food."

Which also means, to paraphrase Joe DiMaggio, Mr. Dimon, Mr. Dougan and Mr. Blanckfein are overpaid.

Rogue analyst?

Bachmann, “Obamacare” and jobs: Bachmann said a recent study from UBS “said the number-one reason why employers aren’t hiring is because of Obamacare.” Not quite.

The “study” to which she referred was actually a Sept. 19 report by UBS Investment Research that stated the opinion of the analysts (without offering any data) that the new law is “arguably” the biggest impediment to hiring, “particularly hiring of less skilled workers.” (The report also said repeal of the law would be “bullish” for the stock prices of managed-care companies, and said Washington policymakers, including Republicans, are “not pursuing a pro-growth immigration policy.”)
