AS THE ELECTIONS DRAW NEAR "YOUTUBE" The Bucharest Stock Exchange gets roasted on Youtube

A sarcastic attack aimed at the current management of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) was uploaded on YouTube, as the elections for the presidency and the Board of the Bucharest Stock Exchange are scheduled to take place at the end of this week.

The author added their own subtitles to a scene from the movie "The downfall" ("Der Untergang" - a German-Austrian movie produced in 2004, and directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel). The original dialogue presented the hysterical behavior displayed by Adolf Hitler, during the last days of Berlin in April 1945, when he had withdrawn to his bunker.

The added subtitles have Hitler speaking angrily about the failures of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

The author of the clip is unknown, and it is worth noting that it is the first time this type of behavior is used before the elections for the leadership of the BSE.

What follows is the transcript of the satirical subtitles added by the author to the movie scene on Youtube (a link to the movie can be found at the end of the article).

General: We finally have the decision of the National Securities Commission. So we now have the entire structure around Berlin. We"ve talked to our informers, everything is 100% functional. We have everything in place. The Stock Exchange. The Commission. The Depository.

Hitler: Yes. Now that that Bucharest Stock Exchange is ours as well, everything is fine.

General: Mein Fuhrer...you know...

General: You know the project of setting up a Stock Exchange in Romania was a total failure. All our efforts were in vain.

Hitler: I want only those who were in charge of this project to stay in the room. The rest of you, get out. You are all a bunch of incompetent fools! I never thought anyone could be so inept. Why didn"t you tell me we have problems down there? It was so easy. We could have built the largest exchange in Eastern and Western Europe alike. We wouldn"t have had any competition, we could have done whatever we wanted with all the money in Europe. We would have been able to control and manipulate everything.

General: Mein Fuhrer, the Romanian stock exchange is not worthy of attention.

Hitler: Yes it is. We would have at least fleeced those who participated in the Mass Privatization Program.

General: Mein Fuhrer, there is not one of them left.

Hitler: You are an idiot! You lack vision.

Hitler: It"s just a piece of the puzzle. You think I don"t know they have the worst stock exchange in the region? They"ve done nothing these past fifteen years. They still don"t have nominee accounts or short selling. Their daily turnover is less than what we spend on hookers and champagne in one night. It won"t be long before even the Bulgarian stock exchange leaves them in the dust, at least they"re doing something. They"re the worst, I know, which is exactly why it could have been a piece of cake. It would have been like taking candy from a baby. I watched their board closely. I was the one who appointed Farmache. I knew he"d just sit there twiddling his thumbs. And he"s doing a great job of it. He"s done nothing so far. Absolutely nothing. Thanks to him and his buddies, that stock exchange is a wreck and we could have gotten it for a pittance. They"re all a bunch of clowns, they don"t give a damn about it, they don"t do anything, they can"t. And their securities commission is just as bad, completely disinterested. A few days ago, the shares of their stock exchange were selling for 25 lei a piece. And we didn"t buy any, even though I told you to.

Woman in the bunker: Don"t cry Ana, maybe Cristian Sima"s brokerage firm will go bankrupt and we actually get the chance to buy it on the cheap.

Hitler: We could have turned it into the most important stock exchange in the region. It was the dream of all the brokers. It was everyone"s dream. We"ll have to resort to a trick. We"ll get rid of those incompetent fools in the next elections. We"ll appoint someone else in their stead, based on skills and expertise. We"ll choose people who are eager to work.

It"s the last chance the Romanian Stock Exchange has.
