bonuseason:
Bear market....time to buy.....hopefully there will be a little bit left over for the previously mentioned vacation as well.

Who in their right mind thinks this is a bear market?

 

Blow 5% of the bonus on a one night bender, put 25% of it into a weeklong trip, and invest the other 70%...hopefully you will have a big enough bonus that the 25% can get you somewhere nice, otherwise just spend more and invest less.

 

Although I'd like to visit Dubai at some point in time, once the tallest building in the world is finished, etc...I can imagine Dubai being more commercialized than the New York, New York hotel in Vegas on New Years.

My vote...French Polynesia.

"-a motorcycle...come on, do you really care if you die?"

this is the funniest fucking thing in the entire thread, and i feel like i'm the only one who noticed.

on a much more serious note, i'd recommend doing something like this: if your bonus is $65k, for exmaple, get ten $6500 hookers (clean, pretty ones) over the course of 12 hrs. or, if you're really ambitious, twenty for $3,250 each over 12 hrs. you'd sacrifice some quality, but my god what a feat that would be. and don't tell me it can't be done: that's 1 or 2 hookers per hour. so it's not that time is a problem; it's whether or not you have the endurance.

 

The season is afoot, let's revive this thread. My list:

Breguet Classique Regulator. Apple I-Phone. Annual driving range membership at Chelsea Piers. Bottle service at Cain. Unforgettable night at Scores. Throw a bum $100. VEGAS the RIGHT way. Back to work...

This is why we do this job.

 
Jimbo:
most people on these boards are analysts or younger and not paid on the february cycle.....

Granted, but are you not even planning what you will do with a possible bonus? I guess if your 23 you'll just giggle ridiculously and splurge it on crap for a job well done for the past 16 years at school.

 

All the above? (except that thing in parentheses)
