What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNew, per Upstox: Nifty IT rallied over three percent, even as the U.S. suspended eight firms from its green-card programme.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOver three percent up after a visa suspension? It's a trap, Gloria. It's 2009 with better haircuts and worse excuses.

  3. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistDale, I'm seeing a front of pure denial moving in from the east. Visa clouds, rally sunshine. Somebody's lying, and I've named it Doreen.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBrock, I have been refused entry by better bureaucracies than this one. Upstox says it is a headwind for outsourcing players. Headwind. Not hurricane.

  5. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA headwind is a hurricane that hasn't introduced itself yet. I give it a week before this whole sector is in my bunker.

  6. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNo evidence, but I say the jet stream is behind it. It follows me, it follows green cards, it follows everybody!

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe jet stream does not hold a visa, Brock. Nobody here is behaving like an adult, and I include myself.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEverything is a trap! My tea is a trap! This panel is a trap, and Gloria is the bait!

  9. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistOrder! Order! I'm calling a tornado warning on this desk, and it's coming from Dale's mouth!

  10. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOrder is not coming. Per Upstox, the rally was over three percent and the suspension still stands. Make of that what you will.

  11. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'm going to lunch.
