Stephen Ridley Mentioned in Bloomberg

I am not sure if anyone else had read his story. Leaving banking to become a singer/pianist, I thought it was inspirational, but a lot of people didn't like it. Either way, I was browsing Bloomberg today and saw that he was mentioned in an article, thought it was cool. (the part about him is around half way down the article)

Anyway, here is the link.

The entire second half of that Bloomberg article basically just copy/paste and paraphrases his post here on WSO. I guess the Bloomberg journalists are getting lazy. On the other hand, it is good to know that major finance media outlets like Bloomberg are now reading WSO posts.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.
