    @1 no one goes crazy, but thanks for the exaggeration. we enjoy the hf numbers/letters because they’re interesting to people who work in/follow the industry. any other brain busters?

    @1 I use them to JO&C while fantasizing about a life that doesn’t so closely resemble hell.

    @1 the first question says, “i work at edward jones in a strip mall”, while the 2nd question says, “i pay for premium access to timothysykes.com”
    really we make captain’s hats out of them then sword fight with cardboard tubes, for serious.

    @5 says “I wish I worked at a big hedge fund or went to an Ivy League school, so I pretend to, but really am just an average IQ’ed asshole who spends a lot of time on the internet posting on message boards, otherwise I really would need to spend more time actually working”

    Smart traders never lose money. “Models” and that evil former Enron guy in Houston cause it to happen to other really smart people.

    @8 says “I process trades for a bucket shop”, his second not so witty post to come says “I had to write something quick before the boss caught me on the web”…so I’ve been told.

    Dude, why would Brian Hunter Kill himself? He’s like golden. Loses 6 bil but still rolls around in a Ferarri with at least 8 figures in the bank.
