    Sigh. Wall Street guys just *love* to name themselves “Valhalla Rising Unlimited,” “OmniScience Financial,” “Death Star Traders,” etc. The gals would name themselves “Cooperative Investments Inc.” If they survived the testosterone poisoning, that is.

        For the fifty people who might know who “Metatron” is … yes, Sue is no fun. No Fun At All.
