Marcus Halberstram's trip to Epiphany Trading Fund

Brendan Byrne of Epiphany Trading has offered our very own Marcus Halberstram the opportunity to visit their world renowned trading desk for the day AND has agreed to pay for Marcus' travel expenses. Marcus agreed that he would go if we were able to pony up 5k and that he would document the experience for us.

This could mark the beginning of a new venture..... WSO Trips!

Please use this thread to pledge to the cause and otherwise encourage Marcus.

With that being said im good for $100.

To whoever took this off the main page shame on you. This is so much better than Edmundo's daily dose of useless spam.

Marcus...do it for your own ego you cheap bastard. Hes paying for your travel/accomodation expenses BOTH ways.

Brendan, I'll take up the offer and do it instead of Marcus.

Haha, this is getting real interesting now. Whoever goes, needs to video tape it though, that would be key.

 

but is epiphany some kind of hell's gate? and what would marcus be doing there? advertising? "interning"-or-whatnot?

Haha, I think it would be funny if Marcus showed up and asked for an internship... lmao.

 

I think Marcus should take someone to watch his back. Someone who has been around the block a few times. Are you in town Edmundo?

 

If Edmundo joins Marcus for the trip then I would be good for $250.

Ha, wow, Im just now seeing this thread.

The $5K is compensation for having to be in the presence of someone like Brendan and his buddies, and also in order for me to go through the trouble of trekking out to Babylon, it would have to be worth my while. But its mainly compensation for the risk I run of being in the presence of Brendan, the super-nova of underachievement, which may somehow alter my molecular composition, confining me to a life of servitude at a local Denny's for the rest of my life. Unfortunately there are no astrophysicists and geneticists on the forum, but I can affirm that they would agree this is a plausible scenario.

Although, there is a great sushi place out there though.

Im sure you fuckers can open up your change purses and muster up some mroney for the pot. As a gesture of goodwill, I'll agree to do it for $4K if she_monkey lets me put my pinky in her butt.
