Received this in an email. It's to the tune of 'Yesterday' by the Beatles...
Yesterday,
All financial crisis seemed so far away.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I was rich just yesterday...
Suddenly,
I am half the net worth I used to be,
with the markets falling constantly,
Oh yesterday I was wealthy.
Why the bubble burst, I don't know,
Leverage, they say.
Should I go short or long
It's gone wrong whichever way-ya-ya-ya. ..
Yesterday,
It was such an easy game to play
Now I need a loan to pay my way,
Oh interest rates, please drop today
How I long for yesterday...
