Does anyone else get misty eyed thinking about the majesty of the capital markets?

A few weeks ago I took about 30 CBD melatonin gummies because I had trouble sleeping. I got pretty gakked out and had some crazy vivid dreams about Wall Street. I was in the middle of a vast ocean, but it wasn’t water. The currents and waves were all capital flows. Huge waves of equity, debt, converts. All of it. I saw giant whale-like creatures that I think were the bulge brackets - these massive titans swimming through the capital, devouring everything in their path. Jamie Dimon rode by on a dolphin (he was nude) and said “hey bro, how’s it hanging”. It was a life changing experience.


Last year I took a trip to Wall Street with my heterosexual traveling companion, Silas. I love traveling with him because I always feel safe. He’s jacked - was a college wrestler. No robber would dare mess with us. Anyway, no gay stuff happened (we’re both straight). And walking around Wall Street (and Midtown) was incredible. Truly amazing. I took pictures in front of every bank HQ and kept shouting “this is where stuff happens!” to those passing by. 
 

Anyone else feel this way?

Should have added “no homo” just to be clear
