Congratulations Occupy Wall Street. You're Officially Making Companies Scared

The CME Group, which runs the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is out with its 10-Q filing and the Occupy Wall Street movement is included in the report.

It appears the Occupy Wall Street movement has garnered enough attention to be considered a new "risk factor" for the company, according to the regulatory filing.

1. Is this the same one

Is this the one where they'd posted "We are the 1%" in their windows?

Wouldn't that be sweet?

2. Excellent. I bet they never considered the

anti-war/pro-Public Healthcare Democrats a 'risk-factor' because they were kept in line by the DLC wing of the party.

4. Get ready: The next phase is about to begin

It's okay if we, the great unwashed masses, are scared. In fact, quite a bit of effort is expended on things designed to scare the populace, and open the door for all manner of shenanigans. But the Masters of our Universe don't like being scared. They like to run things, and to feel secure that they're beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. When we band together, refuse to be scared, and work with each other, it makes our overlords uneasy. There's no telling what they might do in reaction to that, but it won't be good for most of us. Get ready, because the next phase is about to begin, and it won't be very pretty. If we continue to hang together, though, we will prevail.
