Pink Slips

The markets keep on crashing and the TV is my room is not helping at all.
For every resume I send out, there are about 10K jobs lost.

Today's looks: EnerNOC (Boston), Sentech (DC), PIRA (NYC), Exelon (Kennet Square)

Interview in the Carbon Markets

A great deal of the work I did apart from trading the electricity market was researching the ways in which the proposed North American carbon markets would affect the electricity markets.

Through my college mate, Michael Conti, I managed to secure an interview with New Carbon Finance. If you look closely (forgive the jargon), there is no mention of CDMs in countries that are not: Brazil, India or China.

Something needs to be done... and I am scheming on how to do it.

On the Agenda

I woke up at 6 am because I am usually on the desk at 6.45 am, but today is different.

The list of things I miss: hmmm...
The list of things I don't miss: Taking the 6 train downtown, navigating through Grand Central with a cup of coffee

My agenda will be mixed:
- I will talk about Energy issues
- Vent about my job search

Energy Trading...

...was fun.

Today, I got laid off from my job at Barclays Capital.
Today, I intend to put some of my work of the past few months into play.
