Wall-Street business models
January 2nd, 2010
Some excellent metaphors for explaining some Wall-Street business models:
- Arsonist/Fireman (AIG): You get paid to start the fire, then you get paid even more to stop it. Video
- Arsonist with fire insurance (Goldman): You make sure you’ll get paid when your house burns, then you burn it down. Document
The two can work together very well.
