Listen, ladies. I know you think things are prettay prettay prettay bad these days but you are dead wrong. Here's why-- right now, at a certain financial services firm in midtown one brave young solider is taking part in a vending machine challenge. One of everything, 2-6. We're told he's halfway done, having "blazed" through the Sun Chips "like a hot knife through butter" and "squashed the Lays like an ant."

You should have eaten financial shares in your retirement fund account as called for at the blog below where the world best market timer is there to give you just bottoms (and tops where you should offload on dumb money like the guy eating chips).
Link below (while there also check the nailing of October 10, 16, 24, and today November 13 bottom). Check also the election day top. He nailed it as well.

Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 13, 2008 4:28PM
Thats alota Nature's Valley in 1 vending machine, can't see that working out well...
Posted by guest , Nov 13, 2008 4:29PM
Too bad you limit it to people in NYC, because taking that list down in 4 hours is easy.
But good luck to this guy.

Devil Dogs...those are huge! Get Artie Lange in there...he'll do it and wash it down with a 6 pack of Hawaiian Punch.

He downs a reese's you take down two snickers he eats a snickers you down two apple pies. THAT's the Chicago and that's how we're going to beat him.

The stock market is broken. Seriously.

@7 and 14...so you morons think you only go tie-less in ops?
What are you tools...residential real estate brokers at Coldwell Banker?
Sincerely,
Buy side associate who only wears ties for client meetings

Those snacks don't have 5.4 kilos of sodium. They don't have 5.4 kilos of anything.
Ouchie.
Posted by guest , Nov 13, 2008 4:51PM
chill out 29... were you short at the end of the day?
its just a joke I also came from a firm where everyone who didn't have a client face meeting went tie-less
but why such a harsh defense of operations if you're a "buy-side associate" (which means what btw?)?

about 30 items, those bags average about 350 calories.... 10,500 calories, enough to feed an analyst for an entire workweek.
Won't you think of the starving lehmanites? Oh the humanity.

Also, they're not "Cape Code" chips. Until this guy hits the bathroom, in which case someone will need to call a Code 13.

Don't know what a code 13 is? Check here:

If he has that much time to eat and that little for food, he must be in sales.
Posted by guest , Nov 13, 2008 5:55PM
Actually, you'll be surprised. Vending machine food gets pretty expensive. It really adds up.

They'd better reserve the whole mens room just for him. Give the kid two plungers. He'll probably crack the bowl, but he'll be on CNBC tomorrow as a hero.
Posted by Tau , Nov 13, 2008 6:01PM
Makes me kinda hungry
Vending machines are so sell-side
Posted by guest , Nov 13, 2008 6:41PM
He didn't make it, he had 6 snacks left....
