????1978年曾有一部經典影片《火爆浪子》（Greece，也譯作《油脂》），而今年的年度關鍵詞也非“希臘”（Greece）莫屬。回首2011年，對金融市場影響最大的因素應該是歐洲債務危機。特別是，對于要不要出手援助希臘等共同貨幣合作伙伴，歐洲各國已經進行了曠日持久的爭論。倘若這還不夠，那就再看看史上最大的內幕交易犯罪（拉吉，我們說的就是你！）（拉吉?拉賈拉特南，蓋倫集團創始人，是美國十年來最高級別內幕交易案的核心人物——譯注）；以及占領華爾街運動中振臂怒吼的人群和惡臭撲鼻的帳篷；另外，還有令本?伯南克也直冒冷汗的經濟不確定性。但即便面臨各種混亂（chaos，諷刺的是這個詞正是源于希臘語）依然存在機遇，華爾街中有人便在動蕩中找到了增長的機會。本文將回顧過去一年中金融市場的跌宕起伏。我們可以稱之為華爾街勝利的喜悅和失敗的痛楚。

????To borrow from the 1978 camp classic, "Greece" is the word. Looking back at 2011, the European debt crisis -- particularly Europe's protracted will-they-or-won't-they debate over coming to the aid of their Greco-roamin' common currency partners -- was probably the single biggest factor to impact the financial markets. As if that weren't enough, we also had the mother of all insider-trading convictions (looking at you, Raj), plus the raised fists and earthy-smelling tents of the Occupy movement, plus enough economic uncertainty to give Ben Bernanke cold sweats. Still, out of chaos -- ironic how that word comes from the Greek -- comes opportunity, and some people on Wall Street managed to find an upside in all the turmoil. Over the following pages, we look back at the highs and lows of the past year in the financial markets. Call it the thrill of victory and the agony of the Street.
