Poor, poverty-stricken Harvard. Gazing at 30% losses for their latest fiscal year and the tatters of a management team for the endowment, it is unsurprising that they would start trying to fill the ranks. You have to like their chances. It would be pretty hard to look all that bad given the endowment’s recent performance, though we have confidence that the new recruits will give it their full effort.
Harvard Management Co., manager of the nation’s largest college endowment, said it hired a new equity portfolio manager from New York-based hedge-fund firm Caxton Associates.
Emil Dabora, who specialized in event-driven investments at Caxton, is the second recent hire by Harvard Management.
Why are we suddenly reminded of Where Eagles Dare?

Should have hired someone from GS. Caxton sucks.
thought you were going to link to the Misfits song
@1 – BOOBIES!!!! Thank you.
yeah – a guy from caxton will fix that shit…those guys steered all their clients right
Caxton is shit.
If Bess had written this, the word “endowment” would have figured more prominently, and the post would have been seamlessly laced with titillating innuendo, and I woudldn’t be so depressed right now.
The more depressed I get, the hornier I become. Time to microwave some bagels and pound the shit out of them in the kitchen.
@ 8, I usually use the poopy seed. It best replicates the sensation of pounding my secretary in the ass
@8 – Anything longer than 30 seconds on high will be painful.
Lookin’ good, Billy Ray!

Next time you mention a classic Wall St film, have the f’king decency to put in some relevant image.
WTF is wrong with you idiots?
13 – Wall Street film? It’s an old school war movie, fer chrissakes.
I gotta say, I don’t see the relevance to the Harvard Endowment. But given EP’s fixation with Nazis, I’ll roll with it.
EP, I liked that 3-part overdubbing you did on the German war flicks, a while back. Can’t you gin one of those up? It will help pass the time until Bess returns.
if by war movie you mean class war, then maybe. but trading places is definitely a wall street film.
@13, 15 – Well, there’s this sentence, along with a link to IMDB entry for that movie. Great Eastwood flick, a precursor to Kelly’s Heroes, but not terribly relevant to this scenario.

best movie, best movie ever
Where Eagles Dare is one of the most exciting action films and I know it well. I am struggling to figure out the connection to which you are alluding. Please answer this riddle!
Feeling good Luis!
I remember the pavilion, we had big fun there!

Harvard was built on the backs of slaves,and has had its existence prolonged with slave money.
Every endowment in the country has posted double digit losses, even the more conservative ones had 20% declines. I’m more concerned how they valued the decline at 30%.
Seriously, what’s the connection? Great movie though.
