Someone hands you a business card and the person is a hedge fund manager or works for a market maker and is a VP for trading.

You reply, "What a coincidence, that's what I do, too. My firm's still downtown but we're looking at a couple buildings in Greenwich. Here's my card. Let's get a drink."
 
if he hads you a card,tell him to just get it over with and take your order''a big mac with large fries. he's not going to need the business card.

I will admit that I do post some threads to see how many responses I can get to break the boredom of the usual day. Usually those threads get a few responses and then they move on to the end. Then when I do get serious about my life and career, you guys jump all over me;)

What am I do to next?

LOL

Port mate come my journal ''5% - 10% profit per day'', thats wher eall the enetertainment is and more is needed... :)
 
In this environment you probably say "yes, I'd like fries and a shake with that" because most of the hedgies have blown up and work at Mickey D's now.

How do you leverage this?

Tell him you make more money by 9 a.m. then anyone that works for him can all day. Then hand him your card.

Get yourself a panel truck, lawnmowers, hedgecutters, edgers blowers and come to So. Florida with all those 'managers'. The illegals are leaving here like somebody told them the penisula is going to sink.

We need our yards manicured.

This is classic. I lived in so fla for four years.

for the first two it was manic - everyone making money in real estate - either as agents or as investors. It was a big party. People came over for bbqs - kids swam in big pools - sliding doors pooled back to acres of tiled rooms. Next day you wiped the tile down and your were ready again. Most people did not even really work.

Neighbor down the street in had a million dollar house and 600 thou condo. All he did was move down form N.J. put an ad in the very small local yellow pages saying he did lawns.

Within 3-4 months he had 3-4 crews - trucks - mowers and a few hundred thou in profits.

Real estate market rolled over - and five of my wives friends opened "landscaping" businesses. Did not take long to drive the mexicans out. My former neighbor could no longer afford his crews or his houses.

He started doing the lawns himself and so did my wife's friends husbands. I saw a few them riding the mowers. (by the way these were the guys who were supposed be doing so well that they could live in even bigger houses than us - I kept telling my wife this is all bull shit but she did not believe me until we lost about 6-800 thou ourselves.

by the way I am not making fun of the guys on the mowers... I moved back to San Diego to make money.
