The Banker's Prayer or Moloch's Hymn


This was inspired by the CEO of Goldman Sachs saying that the bank was doing "God's work".


The Banker's Prayer


Our chairman who art at Goldman


Blankfein be thy name

Thy rally’s come, God’s work be done

In the Dow as it is in the Nasdaq

Give us this day our daily gain

And forgive us our frontruning, as we punish those who frontrun against us

And bring us not under indictment

But deliver us from regulators

For thine is the cashflow, and the power, and the bonuses, forever and ever.



Amen

Mike Shedlock
