I think we all know that guy. I had some dude tell me about how he eats the hottest stuff available and laughed at me when I said xyz sauce was hot. I let him sample some insanity sauce. He cried. Capsaicin releases endorphins. Eating spicy food gives you a rush and afterward you crave that sensation again.

Those things didn't happen? Go ahead and find one source, one line, one passing reference which supports your contention that Cutler got Shanny or McDaniels canned and I'll forget everything that was widely publicized at the time.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/15/faulty-gas-well-pollute-water/15631955/ Drilling a well is akin to fracking like every financial institution in the country is Wall Street.

Fracking is only controversial because the term is now used to mean any part of the oil/gas extraction process. Not a single study has linked fracking to contaminated ground water. I eagerly await the deluge of articles citing pollution, methane and water contamination which prove my point that drilling a well and maintaining a well are not "fracking".

Shanahan got fired for totally screwing the Broncos cap situation. Cutler had nothing to do with that. McDaniels heavily pursued Matt Cassell in the offseason and was shopping Cutler before the two had seen their first game together. Once that went public McDaniels and Cutler couldn't work together. McDaniels turned that whole team over, had rifts with all their big name players, moved up to get America's favorite talking head on the SEC network and had a putrid record which got him fired. Maybe you can pin the Trestman firing on Cutler in a few weeks, but unless you have an obvious agenda you wouldn't make a case for the other two.

I liked the part of that movie where the actors started playing themselves and then you find out that nothing really happened and it was all a big joke on the viewer. What a twist!!!

Mine sat in the paper tube for over a year. Just got it framed. Its enormous.

I gave Blankfein a back rub...I mean hardwork and street smarts!!!

Theres even less stopping you from registering for the CFA program like meazza and I did. No MCATs to take, no school admissions board, just the nominal registration fee and understanding of the material. Finance is the ultimate meritocracy. No one cares where you came from. Can you make money?

Sadly, hes not alone. People describe hedge fund managers like Bond super villains operating out of volcano lairs fleecing the world with super computers powered by black magic. It would be nice if they at least leveled the right criticism against hedge funds with their algorithm based trading. Heres a good piece: http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/09/04/hfts-circus-market-and-a-dash-for-trash-fund-manager-lets-loose/ Meanwhile, the methods employed by the most famous and arguably most successful investor of all time, Buffet, are about as sexy as a xanax fueled, missionary position romp through a hole in the bed sheet.

Its pretty funny on many levels. Especially so when considering historical hedge fund fee adjusted performance. I'd say the only people being exploited by hedge funds are the super wealthy individuals paying 2 and 20.

What fund does he work for? Whats their general trading strategy?

I'm throwing in the towel. Everything I've written has been dismissed as nitpicking based on semantics and showing off. He makes no effort to educate himself. I'm now of the opinion that farmers are destroying the country because of GMOs, DDT, Monsanto, run off from Tyson chicken farms, illegal immigrant labor, sexual harassment suits at John Deer, ecoli breakouts, the depleted water table in the San Joaquin Valley, mad cow, and feed lots. Why didn't farmers recognize these issues and stop these things?

Which investment banks were originating mortgages again?

Ha, was thinking something similar: Q: Should it be played after FGs? A: Well, do you want to hear the song or not? If anything we might consider expanding Shout worthy events. Maybe play it after really good punts?

By what I've read here, I'm pretty sure some dude selling term life and annuities door-to-door is Wall Street too.

How in the world is Goldman going to stop you from running up your credit card debt and taking out a 3rd mortgage on your home? Not every business in the financial services game is "Wall Street". If you're really interested in learning about the housing bubble at least go read The Big Short and learn who the players were and their respective roles.

So he'll fit right in. He can sit the team down around the camp fire and regale them with tales of the postseason.

You should write an email to all the big institutions and educate them about concentration and the importance of diversification before our financial system collapses. The world needs to know!! At the very least, maybe these institutions could hedge their exposure to commodities somehow...but not with derivatives!! Those are evil.

If they aren't its because theres different levels of service and subscription or they're ordering custom reports from third parties like FactSet. Analyst reports are not altered based on the purchaser. You are wildly off base here again. The proprietary algorithms you're referencing have nothing to do with the research operation. The SEC doesn't govern or enforce anti trust laws. Anti trust inquiries are not government manipulation of capital markets. Your trepidation about playing Sirius XM merger arbitrage is again, wildly off base.

And I'm telling you that you don't know what information you're talking about. You keep referencing either material, non-public information (i.e., insider info) which is illegal to trade on or you're talking about analyst reports, which are written using information which is available to you. Trading floors are not a trove of inside information. That **** is kept secret if someone has it and certainly isn't published and disseminated. People who have no idea how investment decisions are made have tunnel vision on the speed of quotes as if thats driving what is being bought and sold when in actual practice, weeks of modeling, research and scrutiny using information which is largely available to you, is whats driving these decisions. Afterward its a matter of filling orders. You have access to SEC filings for free, at the same time as everyone else. Bloomberg, CapitalIQ and the fancy toys that the pros get to play with for a hefty per user fee, simply interface with these SEC filings. You can buy analyst reports, which again are written based on information available to the public, just as easily as any corporate client. You can have custom research performed by FactSet if you'd like. Please tell me some more about how its going down on the Street, though. It amuses me.

I'm going to ignore the fact that this post is entirely off topic and just let you know that you can access all public filings for free and take in earnings calls just like the big boys from your very own home. Firms cannot pay the SEC for insider information. The SEC is not a research firm.
