So in the spirit of pulling another monkey up that is having a bad day, I wanted to start this thread to show appreciation to someone who has been especially insightful on this forum, thebrofessor.
The dude shares career advice, finance principles, moral wisdom and genuinely enters each discussion with an intellectually honest approach. Not many people can say that they have been a stand out contributor and person, so I'll do it for him.
Thanks man, we really appreciate you here. Even if we're all a bunch of finance fucks just trying to get ahead. We gotchu.
So monkeys, think for 10 seconds - who can you reach out to and make smile? Just a simple, random gesture really does make life awesome.

All round good dude. People like him keep this community going.
Completely agree. What's the point of a community if we don't pull each other up, you know what I mean?
So Rabbit get real with me. When was the last time someone pulled you up? How can the community help you? What kinda shit you facing at the moment?
I'm pretty sure at this point we can crowd source from the board and remove some hurdles for people. Hit me with it.
Legit the older brother I wish I had growing up. Cheers!
That's a really powerful statement man, can you help me unpack that? Wondering what impact he might have had on you, or what you appreciate about him?
1) He knows his shit but doesn't brag. So you have a good model.
2) He's actually very willing to give advice and teach. It takes patience to do that.
3) Man of class but also knows how to party.
So you have someone knowledgeable, easy to talk to, fun, cultured, whose second opinion you can count on. Rare
I want to shoutout too to thebrofessor [Memberberries] Lord Blankfein Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎 Pizz [Investmentbankingturnedmegay] CRE for making the forum so enjoyable and fun to read also [Drumpfy] and Pierogi Equities that guy with the UK flag in his profile pic and Monty Burns
Lord Blankfein Pierogi Equities Monty Burns Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎
Thank you Patrick!
That guy is 2rigged2fail, btw
I miss Blankfein what happened to him
Thank you!
Why is Drumpfy getting monkey shit for a literal "thank you" hahaha
well said, thebrofessor, is the man.
🐐🐐🐐🐐
I've never seen him say anything negative on this site, and I feel like that says something. Even when getting into arguments with people like that European racist who's username starts with a V he's kept his cool and didn't start flaming. Plus he's like a Pez dispenser with the good advice, definitely makes this site worth visiting.
Thank you for your kind words, I've not always been like this and I'm certain there's some dirt on me from years ago
i don't know when I realized it but life's too short to be an asshole automatically even though it's easy, so I try really hard to be kind even in the face of people like the gent you mention
that, plus from a practical standpoint most assholes just want chaos, so when you argue with them, it's like gasoline on a fire
@vænnen?
yes, but don't make this a big deal, I've been called way worse and the best way to beat bad discourse is with better discourse or ignoring idiotic comments
so let's just leave it at that bro ;)
The thebrofessor is by far the best contributor to this community and I would risk to say to us monkeys. No need to repeat all the qualities already mentioned, but just add that, for dinos on this forum like me, it is a recurring reason to comeback and also contribute. Always cherish his words, thoughts and jokes. Keep it up brofessor, enriching our lives and careers (beyond to doing the same for your clients portfolios, but most importantly, to your well-being). My gratitude to you!
Wish I could name specifics, but everyone tagged under this thread are awesome examples. For young kids like me, having accredited professionals giving out so much advice makes this community like no other. I’ve learned more from here than I will in college in terms of recruiting and the like. Stumbling upon this forum not only helped me develop a career path I want to pursue, but has given me the practical advice on how to do it. For that, I’d like to thank the senior posters who are willing to be so generous with their advice. Appreciate y’all
Happy to help
just be sure you share the love when you've gotten some experience too!
Truly brings a unqiue perspective and information to the forum. Goes in depth and detail on specific topics. For sure a top user on here.
The only person who I’ve actually clicked the follow button on for when they make posts. Been reading your comments since junior year of high school. Thanks dawg
I don't know what else to say but thank you, i get so much from this forum, I'm flattered you all get something from me
much love
You're welcome. If I can ask, what does this forum give to you?
I still remember 5+ years ago when I was moving to another city you gave me advice about the company I was interviewing with + gave me a heads up about the best route to take to avoid traffic. You go above and beyond, consistently & unprompted, probably to the point you don't even recognize you're doing it. We recognize it, though.
Thank you man.
attempting to teach others also helps the teacher, so I look at the forum as way to sharpen my own thinking, flesh out ideas, hear new perspectives, and share life experiences, good and bad
part of this is I feel a duty to give back since others helped me when I was lost, another part is I switched from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, I truly believe there's enough happiness, wealth, jobs, opportunities for everybody, so why not share?
would also like to throw my comment in and say that brofessor has been very kind and helpful to me when I have been down (still am) and I am definitely better off for having learned from his wisdom!
happy friday brofessor and all other from across the pond in London
thank you for your kind words and sorry to hear you're down, my inbox is open if you'd like to talk
will hit you up later on, thanks
He's literally the man. I usually skip over long posts on the internet except brofessor posts, where I'll read every word.
I agree 100% - given the amount of traffic WSO gets each month, it's really members like thebrofessor that keep things going strong. In fact, I'd say if we ever get around to launching a WSO coin based on silver banana count, he will be a rich, rich man :-0
LOL
that will be a sight to see if it ever happens
not sure if you saw, but no more anon posting in the Off topic forum + mod team on alert to try and remove toxic topics faster + we have massive cleanup coming for the archives :-)
Thank you Brofessor for all the insightful comments you leave on this website. I've also been having a really shitty day, and any time I see one of your awesome comments on a thread I'm reading, it instantly makes me feel better, that maybe there are good people out there and this world doesn't suck as much as I think it does. Cheers dude
the world does NOT suck as much as the discourse on the internet makes one believe, glad you find my armchair philosophizing helpful, if you ever need a place to vent, my inbox is open and I keep all conversations I have there private
I come on infrequently now. A lot about the site has changed. It's nice to see that one thing hasn't, and it's everything everyone here has said: thebrofessor continues to share gems. I hope you're doing well, man.
life is good bro, life is good! thank you for your kind words, and you are the true gem dropper!
hope we get to share a cocktail in 2022, I'll be in many major US cities and a few international ones so wherever you are, I'll be there too ;)
