Judge Engoron is making himself to look like a true Country Bumpkin
even though he's probably a resident of Manhattan.
Or call him a "Bull in a China Shop".
Successful traders/investors are merely able to identify value before it is common knowledge.
That's it.
'80s and '90s CEO of GE, Jack Welch ("Neutron Jack") put it this way:
"
That guy could see around corners"
Ever wonder how JD Rockefeller amassed that fortune?
He could see around corners.
He saw Kerosene replacing whale oil (JD actually saved the whales).
Then he saw the advent of automobiles.
JD was a total solutions guy.
He surveyed the land, drilled the wells, refined the crude, his chemists identified the proper "recipe" for gasoline ("Standard Oil"), owned the gas stations.
Elon Musk needs to read up on JD.
Every trader (and wanna-be traders) wants be JD Rock.
Failure to execute usually morphs into the show-stopper vice of
ENVY/JEALOUSY.
JD cheated, Trump cheated, etc. I've heard it all
Excellent period movie "Amadeus" a loose bio of Mozart.
The protagonist is a true historical figure Antonio Salieri (played by Murray Abraham),
eventually submits fully to his envy and jealousy, proclaims himself to be "the champion of mediocrity".
Salieri is content with that role for himself,
Seems Judge Engoron feels pretty good about it too.
Best written verse:
"Hasten, brothers, on your way
Exultant as a knight victorious."
