Firstly, apologies for the erratic link in the previous post - it referenced a WAV file of Ray Peterson's 1960 hit "Tell Laura I Love Her", sung on the pavement outside GSCO's offices every Wednesday by a disgruntled investment club/amateur choir who regularly fly in from Boise, Idaho. Rumor has it that Morgan Stanley foots the bill from their arts promotion budget.
Apropos Goldman, I don't know which is more entertaining, the fight between the bulls and bears on Wall St, or the local darkhorse vs. StatTrader debate on the Hedge Fund (and one other) thread. darkhorse has a colorful style (I'd kill to write like that) while StatTrader is to be commended for coming into the viper's nest. As a remote trader, I would be remiss if I didn't share with you this little exchange :
StatTrader : "you probably think you're a trading god, sitting in your underwear, placing lots of 5000 shares, but i don't think this is what the original poster had in mind when he said he was interested in working for a hedge fund."
darkhorse : "And what is this "trading from your bedroom" crap? So I'm in my underwear now? And I guess I have bedhead corkscrews of hair pointing everywhere, bloodshot eyes, pizza stains on my wifebeater t-shirt, a stream of yoohoo trickling down my mouth, cartoon network playing in the background...and I guess I don't know anyone with money, either. I'm hitting up my Uncle Jeb who owns a spare parts garage for funds."
There are other fine contributors on that thread, as there are on this board in general. We are indeed lucky.
Gotta go, Abby's on CNBC (change to Cartoon Network).
