I find the following piece of financial news weirdly funny:
NEW YORK (Sept. 15, 2008) ― Dow Jones Indexes, a leading global index provider, today announced component changes in the Dow Jones Financial Services Titans 30 Index.
Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (United States, Financial Services, LEH) will be removed from the Dow Jones Financial Services Titans 30 Index and replaced by Mega Financial Holding Co. Ltd. (Taiwan, Financial Services, 2886.TW). Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. is being removed because it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
The Titans Index? The Mega Financial Holding Co. Ltd? These corporate types are such a bunch of weirdos.
Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming Jack Donaghy wouldn’t be out of place in this news item.
