There is a few items on vanity fair that basically say the same. (I posted one last week) they make scary reading

It does almost feel too brutal to be true. But perhaps that is indeed the head in the sand ethos emerging, in which case I need to call my broker...Wait a minute, I don't have one. Um.

Typical greedy American traders scaremongering. He has probably turned all his assets into cash, and is trying to encourage a crash, to buy back again at the bottom!

These sort of traders are lower than pondlife!

I was certainly surprised to see such a frank delivery on a major (inter)national broadcaster...whoever booked him has probably already had a roasting!

Yep we can sit back and watch our investments, savings, Pension Funds etc, go down the plughole whilst these effing Investment Bankers play on their keyboards during the day, then take their pitiful bodies down to the current trendy champagne watering hole to brag about it over their Crystal bubbly.

Can their be any better reason for bringing back hanging?

Eh? Did you mean Zeitgeist?

In German (from where the word comes) ei is pronounced like eye in English. So the word is pronounced Z-eye-t-G-eye-st.

The German ie is pronounced like English ee as in see. So your word is Z-ee-G-ee-st :-) Funky!

I have never properly understood Zeitgeist as a word. Literally it means "time ghost", and although I see the vague connection to "sign of the times" I'm frequently confused when people use it in context.

Cheers,
Robin

LOL. A bit like sawing off the branch they are standing on, except somebody else is sawing off the whole trunk and yet someone else has set fire to the forest ...

This might help, Robin:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeist

"time spirit", "spirit of the time", "spirit of the age" etc.

Subtle shift but enough to bridge the gap?!
