Comment of the Week:
This comment: by @adapt or die" in the post "Wall Street".
I met a cheese ball at a bachelor party last year. The guy was acting like a BSD the whole time, telling people that he works on Wall Street, etc. I found out that he was a financial advisor in Maryland for Citi or BAML. He probably makes $200K and is the king of his tiny pond. Those type of "Wall Streeters" are the absolute worst.To show how much of a tool he was, he had a tattoo of the street sign of "Wall Street" on his arm.
