BREAKING! We can finally calm ourselves after being in a cold sweat, no doubt, since August: the feds have lowered the terror alert for NYC (as well as Jersey and DC) financial institutions from Orange to Yellow. That's a calming step down from "high" terror to "elevated" terror, but not so serene as the "guarded" level. You saw this coming, conveniently post re-election, right? Anyhow, we're sure all of Wall Street's drones are going to sleep a little better tonight with this knowledge—or they would, if they weren't stuck in the office all night, poring over coke-sprinkled spreadsheets.
