Question to a current TMT analyst.
What are the current industry trends or what questions could be considered as 'smart' to ask to a TMT senior banker?
Would appreciate any comment.
Thanks

a lot of execs talk about "convergence" and "globalization", I don't really know what these mean though
You are retarded.
To the OP, don't ask a question about the markets. Best case, it isn't retarded and you don't hurt yourself. I give you a 1/10 chance of this. 9/10, you sound retarded or, even if you don't, you piss off a guy who just wants to take a few moments and chill with a guy who he'd like to help, but is instead asking him annoying reporter-like questions.
Re: Drexelalum
Not necessarily, some people like to pontificate about the industry to someone who really doesn't have a clue about it.
Some possible questions could be: - kind of dated but, why did the AOL/TimeWarner merger not really work out as planned? (kind of obvious answer, but let them 'enlighten' you) - has the current economic crisis in any way changed the TMT business model
Like I said though, I just don't see the risk/reward equation balancing. If it seems like the conversation is going that way, then I guess you can go for it, but I wouldn't suggest coming in with questions blazing. If you do ask the AOL question, you could probably ask about the spin-off as well, as that would make it more timely.
Drexel Alum, I've volunteered with mentally disabled adults at a group home and find your use of "retarded" offensive. And yeah, two ivy league degrees in technical subjects and four years on Wall Street, I don't think I need to prove my intelligence to you of all people.
MichaelHutchens,
For someone with your alleged credentials I am shocked that you don't even know what "convergence" and "globalization" mean. Seriously dude, are you retarded?Et ullam rerum culpa reprehenderit consectetur tempora delectus. Fuga magni et libero iste sapiente molestiae. Nihil qui assumenda excepturi doloribus enim soluta.
