    I would love to hear the explanation of what caused that fight. My mole sauce is so much better than yours. I could deliver in 3 minutes vs. the 4 minutes it takes you bitches? PS, the guy with the chain was about to knock the guy in the street out if the “Manager” didn’t grab hold of it.

    Since when did they let the riff raff like that into Murray Hill? Not that early 20′s ex-frat tools are much/any better, well, possibly (slightly) better dressed, but wtf was that? Love how almost all of the non-”participants” walk by like nothings happening at all, ahhh, love NYC!

  18. Posted by Anonymous | July 26, 2010 at 2:12 PM

    @3…You talking to me? Yeah, I’ll be there. I’ll be the big dude in the sheepskin chaps. No pants though. I’ll have a band-aid on my right butt cheek. On the left is a tattoo of the AIG logo with “Cassano” scrolled under it. Take a look and you’ll see my package in a gold lame’ banana hammock. I’ll be wearing a giant, green foam novelty cowboy hat with “Jets” on it. I’ll be celebrating passing the CFA by ripping Citi pitchbooks in half and gargling Jaegermeister at the same time. I’ll be wearing red Doc Martens with black knee-high Goldman Sachs logoed socks. Look for my white-rimmed reflecting lens sunglasses, too. Yes..even when its dark. I’ll be doing “body shots” off surprised passers by. I’ll be dry shaving my chest while I wait for you. And if I get bored, I’ll be the dude ripping the tags off of a mattress I’m bringing with me for the occasion, too. Yeah…just like that. Hell is coming to Frogtown, even though NYC isn’t in France.

    I’ll be at Minetta’s, too, guys. We were celebrating Halloween early at the office today, so I’ll be wearing a police uniform. Try to grab my gun; that way I’ll know it’s you. When I throw you to the ground, draw my taser and call for backup, that’s your cue to shout, “I have a gun in my waistband, and I’m going to shoot you with it, unless you shoot me first.” Then we’ll hug it out and pound some beers.

    Zachary Kouwe, Cat Fanciers Association, is the founder and portfolio manager of the Copy & Paste Fund. In its first year the fund generated a return of 30 percent on his $300 NAV. Building on the fund’s performance, Kouwe created new marketing materials by copying and pasting Goldman fund strategy PDF’s that showed the fund’s gross 1-year return as well as the 3 and 5-year returns which he calculated by using back-tested performance information. As the marketing material is used only for presentations to institutional clients, Kouwe does not mention the inclusion of back-tested data nor his inclusion of all of our IP addresses. According to the Standards of Practice Handbook, how did Kouwe violate CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct?

    A. He did not disclose the use of back-tested data and IP theft.
    B. He failed to deduct all fees, IP’s, and expenses before calculating the fund’s track record.
    C. The marketing materials only include the Copy & Paste Fund’s performance and are not a weighted composite of similar portfolios in which he tried to copy and paste.
