Summer Dreams: What Would You Do With One Day?

my beach

We are nine days away from the 4th of July. The 4th is probably my favorite holiday (after my birthday, of course). Sunshine, cold beer, fireworks, and a flaming grill, four things that make any day better. So while your MD is heading to his house in the hamptons, and you are stuck in the office running comps, take a moment to daydream.

If you had the entire day, and could do anything, what would you do?

Summertime Blues on Wall Street

Okay, I'm not gonna write a whole bunch about this because you need to read the original article and some of the hilarious reactions to it. On Friday, CNBC's John Carney published an article called Summertime Blues on Wall Street. It basically details some of the angst going around the Street these days in the wake of the Whale and other high-profile screw-ups lately. It's written pretty tongue-in-cheek (as Carney is wont to do), but it really got legs over the weekend with the Occupy crowd - most notably the Huffington Post with their hilarious send-up entitled Goldman Employee Struggles with Inability to Regularly Visit Summer Home.

Enjoy the articles and take them in good humor (which is at least how Carney's is meant). But realize also that this probably isn't the best time to be cry-assing to journalists about how bad bankers have it these days. There's not a lot of sympathy out there with the economy in the shitter, unemployment up, and the GDP expected to drop.

Here's hoping some "crazy guy" in London or Paris or Jakarta doesn't crater your bonus this year!

Where do you go?

Don't answer if you're stuck in the office every weekend and don't know east hampton from quogue.

It's pretty much impossible to not get laid by a hottie in the hamptons unless you are a tard or fat fuck

Anyone else going to the Hamptons for memorial day weekend?

Staying with some friends near Bridgehampton - luckily we have the weekend off.

If you're coming out, what are you doing and where are you going? I'm thinking South Pointe tonight.

In NY and London, you hear about areas that bankers live like the Hamptons and Chelsea & Kensington, but I was wondering if there are any holiday destinations they also frequent?

I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one, and I do apologize if that's the case, but I had to share this.

Most of these "bro" websites are pretty stupid, but god damn if I wasn't laughing my ass off at these two videos.

Hamptons

Manhattan is undoubtedly the finance capital of the world; every major bank, hedge fund, private equity, or management firm has operations there. But a few hours’ drive east takes you to its summer capital; the Hamptons.

When are the good times gonna get rollin'?

Curious to know when people think the good ol' days of 150% bonuses will start rolling again, if ever?

Had an interesting discussion on this with some friends so curious to hear what you guys think.

Everyone in this city seems to always be in the Hamptons and I'd like to go. What do you think about the Hamptons in general and the different towns (East, South, Montauk, etc)? Do many analysts go and is there a way to do it affordably?

Alright, this was just too funny not to post. This was in the New York Post a few days ago.

It seems like it's business as usual in the Hamptons with the popped-collar crowd this summer, in spite of the worst economic downturn of our lifetimes. Get ready to laugh your ass off:
