From time to time, we’re asked by the management to satisfy some of their internal curiosities about the Dealbreaker audience. We’re of the opinion that it takes away the mystery in our relationship with you guys, but when we tell them that, they say, “Excuse me, did someone give you permission to speak?” So do us a favor, and fill out this short (3 question!) poll, so we can get paid. We promise not to sell your credit card information to anyone. Can’t say anything about possibly stealing your identities, though.

I cast one write in vote for "If John Carney were an animal, he would be a pangolin."

Why is Equities missing from the trading poll? If I were "management," I would be pretty damn pissed off about that.

ditto that about Equities not in the poll .. BOO!

I do not work in finance. I would bet that more than 1% of DealBreaker's daily readers work in other, albeit, related industries.

Carney: a hybrid of a rat and a weasel.

I absolutely adore the people who post comments in triplicate...it'll go dude...stop hitting the "post" button

It's actually a software glitch on the DB site that ends up in a triplicate posting. Carney you should look into it..

Aww, do the lawyers and consultants feel left out? Shouldn't they be used to that by now?

I'm not in finance either, I just have always had an interest in the markets and the Street (and the gossip that goes with it).
Posted by , Mar 08, 2007 4:54PM
Plenty of people are in finance and not trading. Of course, most bankers suck, but that's not the point.

PE!

Mark another for the 'non-finance' reader. Understand there's probably a lot of finance wannabee's like me out there living vicariously through DealBreaker...

Yeah, sorry about not having an equities option in the poll, but I needed to get a quick percentage of options traders in the audience. Thanks to everyone who participated.

"Beta fish" is good.
I like it for the title of a sequel to "Rumble Fish". Scenario: The Motorcycle Kid settles down and gets a job in a retail broking outfit in Ohio soemwhere.

Aren't "Beta Fish" those haggard, pathetic-looking creatures sold in pet shops that sit motionless in their stagnant aquarium bowls for hours at a time...? If so, ouch!

Guys and girls, carney does not know what your reference to "equities in dallas" is for. that one flew over the cuckoo's head.
