Top 10 Wall Street Halloween costumes

Still trying to figure out what to be for Halloween? Here are our top 10 picks.
10. Be Bernie Madoff. Who doesn’t want to be the most hated man on earth?
9. Be an “IOU one Halloween costume — signed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger”
8. Be a housing bubble. Recessionwire suggests to “make a clear bubble big enough to stand inside, cover parts of it with your local newspaper’s real estate section, and you’ve got yourself a housing bubble.”
7. Be Henry ‘Hank’ Paulson Gangster. Does this really need an explanation?
6. Be a Bankster.
5. Be the FDIC’s Sheila Bair. Who isn’t scared when the FDIC comes a knockin’?
4. Be a zombie bank.
3. Be a credit default swap. If these totally unregulated financial contracts can destroy American International Group Inc. (NYSE:AIG), it will terrify the neighbors.
2. Be Citigroup Inc.’s (NYSE:C) Andrew Hall. He owns a castle, was untouchable and widely debated due to his promised $100 million bonus, and then he was divested along with Phibro.
1. Be pay czar Kenneth Feinberg. He has the power to chop salaries.
Looking for something a bit scarier? How about a pink slip? Have some more suggestions? Add them below. – Maria Woehr
