Sad guys on trading floors

The recent financial crisis has spread all throughout the various levels of our society, and that includes creeping its way down into little memes. One of those is Sad Guys on Trading Floors, a Tumblr blog with pictures of... sad guys on trading floors.

Somewhere between lolcat and poignant, the blog shows traders at their rawest and most vulnerable state: watching their fortunes and jobs melt away in the high pressure of the financial crisis, each day bringing worse news.

The range of emotions the reader has to this series of images ranges as well: from sympathy knowing that these traders are suffering with the rest of the country, to laughing at the snarky subtitles.

No matter what your reaction, it is a reflection of a mood sweeping through the internet and the financial world. A snapshot of our current state.
