GS Elevator Gossip 4/29-5/3

5/3/12 #1: From my experience, most people really should have lower self-esteem
5/2/12 #1: Insider trading is like pissing in the pool. It sounds dirty, but really isn't that big a deal.
4/29/12 #1: My Amex is my man card.

Bro, just show them your shiny iPhone... They will think you are a techno GENIUS.
 

Goldman Sachs is the most overrated and prissy company in the world. The company holds the record for greatest gathering of Virgins if it wasn't for the allure of GS. Women hear that name and think its big time. All the guys there are F'n jokes.

Lloyd Blankfein: I got this rat, this gnawing, cheese eating fuckin' rat and it brings up questions... You know, see, GSElevator, like you're the new guy. Girlfriend... Why don't you stay in the bar that night I got your numbers. Social Security numbers. Everybody's fuckin' numbers. GSElevator: Is there something that you just wanna go ahead and ask me? 'Cause I'll give you the fuckin' answer, all right? Lloyd, look at me. Look at me. I'm not the fuckin' rat. Okay? I'm not the fuckin' rat.
