Just guessing here, but it sounds like the expected drop is what the "shock position" means, like, pretty much what the words mean.I had a lesson tonight with an Italian stockbroker who's keenly awaiting tonight's speech. He said "buy on rumours, sell on news"They're expecting a 2-3% drop in the markets on foot of the speech. He said he's taken a "shock position", but honestly I don't know what that means!

A member of management in a gigantic global company I worked with would sit in meetings with one leg tucked underneath him in a most uncomfortable looking pose. If it was a more casual meeting, both legs would be off the ground.
I think you need to show Dr. David Duke a little more respect. This man was an elected public official after all.
Getting someone killed in Latin America doesn't exactly require Seal Team 6, especially if they're an environmentalist defending Native land from resource extractors. Just have a look at Brazil...
Thats how I sit in meeting's too. I get cramp in my thighs if I sit with both feet on floor for too long. People don't seem to mind or comment.
But KellyAnne's posture is very different. Though as has been proven, in this instance, she seems to have taken the position to get the right angle for a photograph.
Exactly. People are going bananas at her for no reason. I'm sure she would have stood if she knew she was in shot.
It's got to the point where the woman could perform CPR on a dying child, save him and people would complain she didn't use the correct method.
Trump objectors (I'm one of them) have now gone full Trump. Abandoning the issues to attack inconsequentials.
Who cares? Trump's probably nailed her on that couch anyway

I'm gonna guess he actually said "short position", which is when you sell shares you don't own to make money from buying them back at a lower price in the future. Personally, don't think I'm gonna watch (certainly not for job purposes).
I was already thinking the couch will need to be burned. Now I know it is true.
Damn it, guess my Blacked.com joke is a bit late now...
She is sat there to get out of the way as she isn't intended to be in the full photo. She's getting a snap on her phone and the angle at which she has plumped for we know it isn't intended to go anywhere really, hence the professional photographer. She reminds me of Harley Quinn sat there the devious, manipulating little shit.
What professional meetings are these? I don't claim to be big time but if I walked in to a meeting with any of the attendees sat like that on a couch (though admittedly don't remember many couches in settings where I've had meetings) I wouldn't be taking the people seriously, at all. Maybe it's a bit old fashioned, I don't know.
I'm certainly not outraged, it just made me chuckle. They understand the importance of public image but have absolutely no intention of working on damage limitation, they just do what they want. Which is half the problem..
If anyone's interested Rafa Benitez has similar small hands to the Don.
Watching Newcastle game.

The couch still being discussed?
Definitely shock
Ah, well... guess Italians do things their own way.
I am genuinely angry after reading this shit - HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice.
How can these assholes say this shit with a straight face? Black colleges came about to offer choice? No - you stupid f-ing cow, they came about due to necessity. Need I break down, why that was....
That is one seriously pathetic attempt by the DeVos Dept of Ed to whitewash history.
You have to do some Olympic quality mental gymnastics to compare the DeVos agenda with the founding of HBCU's.
So looks like the FBI thought Steele's work was good/promising/credible enough to pay him to keep digging:
No idea. But I nod and say, "hmmm yeah" and do the financial version of Armando Iannuci
"The problem with the Dow Jones is that they always try to walk it in"
*honestly though, most of the time he just wants to discuss Trump for an hour
This thread is great for prepping me.Loads mate. I've never held court in the oval office but I've sat in boardrooms with CEO's that have put their feet on the table, women have taken their shoes off, guys have got rid of their ties, I've seen others spin the chair around and sit on it backwards. In media companies the CEO has worn flip-flops, the FD has worn a beanie. At an auditing firm the meeting chair has sat on a swiss ball. I could go on forever. Times have changed.
Ignoring all of that the photo in question wasn't a meeting, she's in the background probably doing some work and then took a photo. I doubt she was on twitter. It's a storm in a teacup and people getting p1ssy over her feet being on the couch are as bad as Trump in many ways. It's a picky non-issue.
To be honest, it's just because of how reviled she is. She's the kind of person who'd be lambasting someone else if it was them in the photo and if it suited her.
I used to work in media... It's very relaxed, no comparison.
Exactly. As I said further up;
It's got to the point where the woman could perform CPR on a dying child, save him and people would complain she didn't use the correct method.
Think you mean you used to 'Work' in media. Hahaha.
Some days I yearn to have that cruisy environment again.
Yeah man she's so hard done by.
I'm clearly not saying that.
But we can't treat feet on the couch with the same amount of weight as lying on camera about policy.
Trump and his regime blow something small out of all proportion and his objectors vilify him for it. Then those same people do exactly the same thing. It's retarded.
I loathe the fact that I know what this website is.

Which Greenwald article were you reading? The one he's written today is probably his best on Putin.

Those David Duke tweets aren't as funny anymore
Think that was posted a few pages back. It's hilarious though, a great video. I'm sure there are more examples to add to it by now though.
It was the best ten seconds ever.
O hai - still at it I see!

Get ready for an 1hour and 15 mins of Trump
@Silva that's why I posted the David Duke tweets...he or his people have obviously carried them forward...
A one hour 15 minute fart. Actually, that's very apt as that's just what it sounds like when he's talking.
If anyone on here would know, I figured it would be you, bro.
Yeah...no more fights over trivial things...no more pettiness...let's think big.
Big like the margin of my great victory...Woooooooo!
Are Hallmark writing his speeches?
