...as for our Stamford sisters, your showing is not the sort of work that'll get you free Jäger bombs spiked with E(strogen) but luckily the Big Man is feeling pretty generous so meet us at Hank's after work. It's Tuesday, so it's time to party.

I am happy for you Bess, but Gregg's latest post was probably the best this year, if not this decade.

Given the handsome advance I received from Harper Collins for my soon-to-be best selling book, Sellout, the cost of the pool tables is on me.
That's just how Chazzy G. rolls.
Come on down ladies and watch me flex my glutes.

@6 - Taylor Swift, you read dealbreaker, too?
How could you be so heartless?

Hi Bess,
I've been receiving some internal inquiries re: one your posts on DealBreaker today (People! THIS TYPE OF PERFORMANCE IS NOT BUCKETS O' CHICKEN MATERIAL!).
Can you provide me with some background? Where did these numbers come from? Who specifically at SAC sent them to you, etc? I find this rather entertaining (I'm new to the concept) and hope to provide some feedback to colleagues.
Thanks,
SAC Capital, Media Relations

Maybe not buckets of chicken but definitely crates of watermelon

wow, SAC completely blows away Tudor except for early years! No wonder Cohen has a bigger home in Greenwich

@11 way to take an amusing anecdote about ptj loving to make it rain chicken on his employees and go racist.
Posted by guest , Sep 15, 2009 2:45PM
@6 - wtf is racist about 3's post? That was actually pretty funny.
Posted by guest , Sep 15, 2009 2:46PM
@12 but does stevie have the most spectacular christmas display on earth? I think not!

Please don't confuse racism with making fun of an idiot.

Fried chicken has been proven to be a motivator in a way that restricted stock just can't cut it. I'd count on it being one of the non-negotiable points of Wall Street reform.
Disclosure: Long Popeye's, spicy, white meat.
Posted by guest , Sep 15, 2009 3:24PM
@19 agreed that fried chicken is a motivator but we're talking about tudor, which wouldn't be giving out restricted stock anyway, as it is a hedge fund. for more on this pls read this story and educate yourself:

Well Paul, when you bet against the house, you lose. No length of time in the magic Bruce Willis aerobic shoes will help your position. Remember this, kids:

@10 it looks like Redacted has reared her semi ugly, slightly overweight, Jenny Craig dieting, Cruves gym working out, Byers eating, Taylor Swift loving, Gilmore Girls on Netflix via Roku obsessed head again.

When you have your own deep fryer right in the middle of the floor, you can make it rain fried chicken any time you want. Or fried oreos. Or fried snickers, fried analyst testes, whatever kind of fried foods you like.

@19 - I prefer the dark spicy meat and its been in my portfolio since '81.

@24 true, but the headline was addressing tudor employees.
Posted by guest , Sep 15, 2009 3:59PM
Thanks, 20. I've been following the Tudor story for some time. My point, such as it was, was about aligning compensation with performance, and, uh, [exhaustion].
Posted by guest , Sep 15, 2009 4:05PM
@20 All the more reason to compensate employees with RSUs.

26, is this better?
Today, I want to talk to you about the dirtiest word you know, a word that is so terrible that your parents won’t talk about it; your teachers won’t talk about it; and you certainly don’t ever want to dwell on it. But you need to be prepared to deal with this phenomenon because you will experience it. That is a guarantee. Every single one of you will experience it not once but multiple times, and every adult in this room has had to deal with this in its many forms and manifestations. It’s the "F" word. FAILURE.
