Update: Here's the new list - November 2009.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. In these dark times, with misery everywhere, these beautiful people get PROMOTED! Yes, promoted. Not keep their jobs. Promoted!
How many of them have trained as financial shamans? How many of them have trained as money mystics? Frankly, dear reader, I don't give a damn. That can come later.
A note of caution though: I had to do quite a bit of detective work to put this list together, and there may be a few mistakes. Also, I doubt that all these people have just suddenly become managing directors. Some of them may have been appointed over the course of the last year.
Well, anyway, congratulations to: George F. Travers, Jack B. Navarro, Vinit K. Sahni, Rafael I. de Fex, John M.
