That's great. You've had a phone call with a managing director at Goldman. Fantastic. Do you guys play racquetball? At the Water street HRC? Share martinis at Harry's? I never said they didn't, and I never said I made a ton of money or had plans, or even a chance, of doing so, silly goose, and if I did I certainly wouldn't go bragging about it on the internet. In fact I probably won't make a ton of money ever, unless I win the lottery, and am fine with that, I guess. I just said that your snapshot of the financial community was a bit limited - as you are demonstrating with VIGOROUS APLOMB
I never claimed to be friends with the Goldman MD, I do talk to some of them on a fairly regular basis (part of my job). Aren't you the one who claimed that traders on the street don't do much for the firms, and not that important? And you are calling me for having limited knowledge on the financial industry, when yourself is not really in the core business of making money. Please.
That's from a small time lawyer once slaved at a wall street law firm. BTW Sam, did you know the fix income market is MUCH bigger than the equity market?
