Congrats, I know you are a person that NEVER needs to worry about having a job. You have given back so much to the community that it is almost impossible for people not to be generous back.

Respect.

In 1976, James Hunt broke the sound barrier through Eau Rouge only to retire before the event finished... following the race he had sex with three Belgian nurses at the clubhouse near La Source.
 

Congrats!, and count me in for the wso to energy rodeo contest XD.

Monty, like I told you earlier today, I admire everything you do man. After l listening to you in person for 3 hours the other day I have a newfound respect for you. You deserve it!

  1. I learned more from you and started to work on things this morning to better my "life"
  2. when your head is down and your making the right choices you dont notice people looking. good things happen to people who put their head down and work
  3. that was some rocking pizza... we are getting a large next time
 

clutch like jordan in his prime. I expected nothing less from you monty. Great Job. April should be entertaining

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

Congrats.

Congrats Monty!

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
 
brooksbrothaWhen you showed me on a napkin at buffalo wild wings how energy transportation works, I said to myself "this guys going places". Congrats

I actually still have it at home haha. I should. I learned more in 20 minutes of napkin writing and beer drinking than I've learned in any class in college.

 
got666You learn more useful information talking to 1 trader for 5 minutes than you do in an entire semester of college.
Not the focus of the thread, but why don't they teach any applied stuff at college? ...or would that just make too much sense?

Can't think of anyone who deserves it more, congrats man!
