I’ve already left and am posting this on the go so if there are typos I don’t want to hear it. I think we can all agree that any attempts to make up for last week’s 3 Munchkins in 3 hours challenge are welcome. Some background: “IBD analyst going for 8 in an hour for a measly $350. Says he’s doing it for pride. A very liquid market at 4-5. Total volume outweighs the payout by a huge margin.”

15 minutes elapsed, 45 to go: Two DD’s down, rounding on the third one. Colleague says: “Did I mention he’s washing down with a Foster’s oil can? A for effort.” (Furthermore: “You might like to know that the only KFC in midtown that could handle this volume was at Grand Central. Two separate DoubleDown runs were required.”)

25 minutes elapsed, 35 to go: 3 sandos down. “Kid is going strong! Big short squeeze at 4. I made a big market there and am going to probably need to hit the ATM.”

30 down, 30 to go: “Brick wall at 3.5. The market for 4′s is coming back. This kid’s gonna boot any minute now.”

35 down, 25 to go: “He’s absolutely gagging, loudly, on 4. This is not happening. People aren’t supposed to be this color. Looks like something out of a horror movie. He just said he can’t even smell them anymore. Are you kidding me? It smells like a fucking fryolator in here.”

FAIL AT 45 MINUTES ELAPSED: “And so it ends with a massive vomit at 4. In happier news, I was principal market maker at 4. I just destroyed on that trade. A perfect call. But seriously? That kid is in need of medical attention.”

    Someone pull up a video on their lamePad of chickens at the slaughterhouse so he knows how evil this is … and so a lamePad gets puked on.

    Ye Gads what journalism! You went to school where to learn how to post such nonsense? I’ll take the last 90 seconds of my life back please.

    troll@12 god you’re a tool. actually levin didn’t go to journalism school, firstly, and secondly, this is a regular much-loved DB feature. they do plenty of other stuff so read that and STFU and/or GTFO (also simply feel free to off yourself.)

    @12

    This is much higher quality journalism than 90%+ of the drivel the MSM media produces, especially business media, echo @14, STFU/GTFO

    @ 22 this site is a pale imitation of its past glory.

    Posted by guest | May 14, 2010 at 7:28 PM

    I expect this garbage from the Motley Fool.

    Interesting that you’re wasting your time reading and commenting on all these posts. And that you’re so desperate to make this point…wonder what that’s about…

    Anal_yst@17,
    Well put. That Business Insider website publishes some truly idiotic shit.

    What the fuck is wrong with @12? Go read the village voice you fuck!

  21. Posted by Anonymous | May 14, 2010 at 7:41 PM

    @12 = either Greg, Carney, or Kouwe. Seriously, clearly has an axe to grind. Who else would have such an axe against Bess? Even the people she writes about love her–and recognize talent when they see it, even when that talent is eviscerating them for our enjoyment.

    But who besides Carney would bother to write “this site is a pale imitation of its past glory” when that’s so laughably untrue?

  22. Posted by guest | May 14, 2010 at 7:47 PM

    @21 agreed though I don’t think it’s any of the ppl you listed. dude sounds obsessively bitter, perhaps someone BL didn’t go for (though on the other hand, based on his writing style “ye gads!,” thinking that ppl who need to work in media had to go to journalism school, admission to reading motley fucking fool, I could also see it being some middle-aged douche in fly-over country, 3 kids, working at a shit brokerage, and hating every minute of his miserable existence).

    @14 Your enraged defense and knowledge of BL’s educational history is pretty fucking creepy.

  31. Posted by guest | May 15, 2010 at 6:05 PM

    @30 most regulars know that she went to amherst college, which doesn’t have pre-professional programs, such as journalism, and started working at DB right after.

    For a time I wondered, why do finance douchebags enjoy these eating contests so much? The answer was clear when I saw some douchebags wearing baseball hats with zero ironic intent.

    douchebags, like baseball caps and eating contests
    rednecks, like baseball caps and eating contests

    So there you have it. A douchebag is just a cleaned-up redneck.

  33. Posted by hindu love god | May 15, 2010 at 6:49 PM

    yes bateman

    and strip clubs too.

    finance guys love strip clubs
    rednecks love strip clubs

    Who sets these initial targets that overestimate stomach capacity and basic laws of physics by 50%-100%? At least they aren’t quants.

    @32 I too remember the first time I skinned a deer. Only I don’t think you had your father whispering “never let the trade be personal” in your ear.

  36. Posted by the dude | May 15, 2010 at 9:57 PM

    I’m there for you, and I’m there for you, but honestly, see a doctor, see a specialist, get a stress test, because I’m worried about your heart.
