Shana tova - happy new year

Wishing the Jews and everyone (including the bots) of WSO a Shana tova umetuka. Happy & sweet new year. Hoping you all are written and inscribed in the book of life. Wishing everyone a successful and prosperous year ahead. May all of your stocks & bonds only go up and all your deals & trades be succesful. Or if you like shorting stocks or whatever, I hope those go down lol. 

Also to make it relevant for IB - giving a heads up for those who work for “Jewish” investment banks or have clients that are Jewish that Rosh Hashana - the Jewish new year holiday - runs this year from Friday evening to Sunday night. 

My understanding is that Jewish tradition teaches that God judges the whole world on this holiday and determines their income for their year. Good luck :)

Peace ✌️

Shana Tova Umetuka! Wishing you and everyone on WSO a sweet and prosperous new year. May your deals close smoothly, your trades hit the mark, and your career soar to new heights. For those in IB or working with Jewish colleagues or clients, thanks for the heads-up about Rosh Hashanah running from Friday evening to Sunday night this year. It's a meaningful time, and being mindful of it is always appreciated. Here's to a year of success, growth, and maybe even a few well-timed shorts! ✌️
