The only thing I can add is a quote from Charles Bukowski:
Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors.

=================
I see your point. That article also noted a heart DR[MD}noting the increase risk of heart disease + stroke working those long hours.

Great, just what BAC needs another winnning lawsuit against them.Slavery + stupidity still seems alive + well @ BAC.

Quote from kut2k2:

Dying in general is one thing. Dying for some douchebag who is just using you for unpaid or even underpaid slave labor is another thing entirely.

A few months back I saw some teabagger on TV argue that African Americans should be grateful that slavery gave their ancestors food and shelter "for free". Never so much wanted to jump into my TV screen and stomp a man like he was a cockroach.

Pretty sure the intern was free to fuck off from the job at anytime, guys working in IB don't go through their mid 20s slacking off. But those who make it don't exactly enter an unpaid or even underpaid career...

your sentiment is understandable. i agree with you.

however african americans should be grateful to their ancestors that they now live in a soft country as contrasted to africa where most of them would likely barely survive.

Very true. Some folks are just morons.

Lol. Couldn't agree with you more.

All idiots should die.

So do the 95% who will clean toilets for one year mind if they get paid or not?

Just imagine that. Cleaning toilets for a year. Unpaid. So they could get 5 minutes of talk time.

Do they also have to buy their own janitorial uniform? Lol.

It's the price to get paid what they can when they get fulltime offers.

Banks don't just hire you and hand you a sack full of money. You have to work hard. The industry is competitive as everyone is trying to win deals and mandates.

Most bankers that I have met are arrogant imbeciles who worship money.

Makes traders look like normal people. Lol.

You reap what you sew mofo.

Why else would they work so late on what amounts to colorful pamphlets?

Dreaming of ways to con people.

Basically, IBankers are con men.

Their job is to cook up ways to do deals.

Then they take a cut off the size of the deal.

I con the Ibankers b4 they con me.

Don't get me wrong. I ain't no con artist. Only to other con artists.

The Investment Banks and Brokers are crying about the HTFS computers who are stealing all their hard cash except UBSS, GSCO and MSCO. They have their own black-box computers they nip and bite away at the Public's cash (Pension Funds) giant funds like "CALPERS" here in California and various firms who buy stocks "marked up".

When I first started to Day Trade using Select Net and Island, Firms were crying foul, complaining to NASD and the SEC we needed to be stopped. It was ok for them to keep a spread $30.125 x $30.625 all day long! Jump in with Island at $30.375 and have those buttheads fill me with 34 shares was fun too! I never moved my order on Island, just sat there until those clowns filled my order, causing them stress and angst!

The Bankers and Funds are complaining about the methods of the HFTS and all the anxiety and stress their bringing to the honest guys who want to make a buck for the Hedge and Mutual Funds. I feel sorry for this kid, I know the majority of Traders on this board are not inexperienced at working 16+ hour days and researching after trading.

How many of you have pissed your pants are crapped them to remain in front of your monitors because you could not get away from a crazyzoid stock? Don't be modest ladies and gentlemen, if our bodies were just a bit weaker that could have been us imploding from stress and anxiety!
