Goldman Sachs Fires Analysts Including Tanona, Dray [Bloomberg]
-
Blistering action? Definitely. VIP crowd? For sure. Serious coin? Oh yeah. The Stockings and Bonds Poker Tournament at Caesars Atlantic City is shaping up to be the event of the season for legitimate power players. And it all goes down Saturday, March 13 – Sunday, March 14, 2010.
But let’s talk about what really matters…the prizes. How do you like $30,000 cash, guaranteed? (Nice!) And, for the first place winner, a seat at the World Series of Poker 2010 Main Event in Las Vegas. (Bring on that 15 minutes of fame!)
Joe Domenico, General Manager of Caesars Atlantic City had this to say, “We wanted to put together something well above and far beyond an exclusive poker tournament. We wanted to create an elite gaming and entertainment experience for the sophisticated player…and that’s the Stockings and Bonds Tournament.”
And just what makes it an experience? Hey, it’s all in the details. As bluffs are called and stakes are raised, the gorgeous Stockings and Bonds Girls will saunter from table to table indulging players in complimentary neck and shoulder massages. And, after a night of fast-paced poker action, each player is invited to skip the line to an A-Lister After-Party at Dusk, Atlantic City’s most talked-about new nightclub right on the Caesars property.
What’s your investment in this deal? A $500 buy-in and $60 registration fee reserves you a seat in the game. But Caesars thought of everything and crafted some inclusive packages that make it all worthwhile. $674 (plus applicable taxes and fees) scores you your buy-in, registration fee, hotel room at Caesars and skip the line & cover charge for the Dusk After-Party. Got a buddy who wants in on the action too? $1,249 (plus applicable taxes and fees) gets you the same deal for two. (Guess this casino knows how much you Wall Street guys like a discount!)
And getting to AC is easier than ever. If you’ve got a private car, by all means use it. If you don’t, you’re still in luck because you can rate first-class, round-trip transportation with Hampton Luxury Liner or the ACES Train.
Space in the tournament is limited so pre-register today at www.caesarsac.com to lock in your seat. Because it’s time to step away from the trading floor and onto the gaming floor!

waiting for the comments on VU
No point covering Financials going forward.
ouch
Who needs advice. The stuff is either going up, down or sideways. The market does what it wants.
LOL Villanova. No wonder.
Well, he came from JPM in ‘05. Bet he’s regretting that move.
Regarding VU…it’s not nice to make fun of retarded kids.
WHo were the “other 5 analysts” in addition to the 6 named in the article?
Is VU a bad school? Never heard of it
VU IS TO WHARTON AS BC IS TO HARVARD.
need to fire those hacks murti and AJC
more like VU/BC/Georgetown = Cornell/Penn/Harvard
regardless of where the guy went to school, he accomplished considerably more than the dealbreaker crowd- a bunch of wannabe investment bankers – so lame
funny how a VU graduate probably made more money most years than all of you but you continue to make fun of him.

sounds like the Harvard/Wharton people, if there are any on this website are a bit pissy that they were shot down by Goldman
Actually, most VU (and BC and Georgetown) people I know are caricuture clean cut Catholic guys. High school at Iona Prep, Fairfield Prep or Delbarton. Honest, hard working, polite, well spoken. That stuff gets you very far on Wall Street.
@16. True, most of the people on here wish they could get to VU, BC, G.
Couldn’t handle the tuition nor workload.
The haters are a ‘buncha back office hacks.
Delbarton? “Honest, hard working, polite..”
more like a bunch of silver spoon drunks..the George W Bush types
VU is the key. He’d have done better for less down the road at St. Joe’s. Go Hawks.

anyone know 1st year associate numbers?
@16: That may be true, but it isn’t exactly Goldman quality.
I cannot make out the DOB on his Bloomberg panel. Is he too young to have been there for Rollie Massimino and the Wildcats beating Georgetown in the 1985 NCAA Championship game?
Georgetown or BC > Fordham > Villanova
#23 Fordham is for those people who were rejected by the Suny schools. Not even in the same league as the other 3 schools
I love how some people dismiss the db readership. there are plenty of georgetown and harvard people who read this site. and for the record, gu and nova are birds of similar feathers. I wouldn’t include bc in that crowd. fordham, seriously, in the same breath?
@25
BC is a much better school than Nova. hands down
BC and Gtown are much better than the rest….. they are where the smart kids who’s daddies don’t try to buy a spot at Harvard go, and the not so smart who’s daddies don’t have enough money to buy a spot at Harvard buy theirs
JP Chase is filled to the brim with Fordham grads.
25 Maybe so, but cluz is saying that BC is better than Georgetown. No way. BC is in a sense like Duke: nothing particulary special about the fundamentals (academics) but really really really selective as a result of the nice lifestyle it offers. (location, social life, etc.) End result is that they both attract smart people.
Harvard > Yale > Princeton =
Notre Dame > Villanova > Georgetown.
Fordham, BC, not even close.
30 No, no, no: Georgetown, Notre Dame, BC, Villanova, Holy Cross, Fordham
@30
HAHAHAHAHA
you have got to be kidding me. Villanova is not even a nationally ranked U. It was the safety school for every GU, BC, ND alumni.
@29 – sorry bro, you read me wrong, bc is a safety school for the gu kids.
Agreed with #18 re: delbarton (even moreso places like Don Bosco, eek!) At least they’re not nearly as snooty as the Pingry (etc) types though.
I’m here quaking in anticipation of the possible wrath of Bess, who went to Pingry.
as 25 said – georgetown, nd, bc, and villanova are all “birds of the same feather”. i know people who attended all of these schools; there’s not much of a difference in terms of their intelligence.
@31 sounds right. I might reverse Villanova and Holy Cross, but both are behind G’Town, ND and BC but ahead of Fordham. Notre Dame much more “Catholic” than Georgetown these days, so different applicant pool.
Only difference is, Villanova has a better football team than ND.
i’ve read some lame forum comments on db but this takes the cake. a college pissing match? what a bunch of dorks
39 You must be new here. I remember a mention once of Indiana U and the quality of the analysts that came from there. It caused about a million reply posts.
My vocational school is better than your vocational school.
- Apex Tech ‘07
top sign of a junior banker – still talks about what school one attended and actually thinks its relevant.
@42 – Agreed. Doesn’t every client pitch begin with where everyone went to school? It only comes up if you haven’t accomplished anything since graduating.
I went to a school thats barely in the top 50 and somehow I still have a job in ib.
point: school matters not at all after 1-2 years except for bragging rights no one cares about. the top producer in my division is some fucking kid from india we snuck over on a raft or something. he went to a college that has like thirty syllables in it and he is on the fast track.
i go to nova, and 31 has it right.
The GS sellside analysts are only there to attract suckers to take the losing side of their prop trades. They haven’t paid up for top analysts since before Eliot Spitzer was making the dress a mess.
and joe public wonders what “went wrong on Wallstreet???”
You idiots prove the point- things were always wrong on Wallstreet!
idiots, one and all.
@47
This thread doesn’t represent all of Wall Street (two words), however, throw in a bunch of 20-somethings, some free booze, and one could easily get that impression, I’ll give you that.
Those people who entered Wall St from non-target are losers. Period. They’re the ones who caused this mess.
