There is genius in this cartoon and Barry Ritholtz entered it into his blog at 3:30. You might think that the article should be here, but this is a demonstration of amplification. This honors a thread and it will be the comments at this blog that make it a better infoportal than the article's original source. But it is great writing by Ritholtz to not let words stand in the way of genius, especially in this picture that belongs in the ages to come, although he blew a great chance to say "Four Horsemen of the Wall Street Apocalypse." He left out the most powerful word and he could have had an original morphing.

It is awesome construction of words to say "The Four Horsemen of the Wall St. Apocalypse." "Apolcalypse" is a hell of ending note and was real Paul Revere considering the "Apolcalypse" that comes with the denunciation of the dollar in a meeting of nations in Russia today. The picture deserves a place in the distant future. The graphic is all genius. I feel compelled to print this out and hang it on the wall.

Four Horsemen of Wall Street

I really liked the Four Horsemen illustration that accompanied Joseph Stiglitz’ column in Vanity Fair this month — Greed, Mendacity, Stupidity and Arrogance:
