i've found that vigorously jerking off seems to pass the time pretty well. you may get some funny looks but dont pay them any mind, they're not investment bankers so they dont really understand
Do you also push people on the tracks in the subway and shoot them in the head by any chance
Probably reading fun books or listening to a podcast/audiobook. You can also do the 400 IB questions to freshen up
- Market news, pre-market et al
(I mostly setup my trades during my commute)
- Reading industry news sourced through Google Alerts
- Reading an eBook
- Music
reading a book, but make it fun by putting random book jackets over it like mein kampf, kama sutra, communist manifesto, anything by trump, what you can do to avoid aids by magic johnson, conquering explosive diarrhea by G Hud, how to live with a huge penis by richard jacob
I usually kill time with reading or studying language (duolingo, lingQ, anki), or if I'm too tired to do that, listening to a chill podcast like stoic meditations or buddhism guide or just sounds of the ocean is a good way to wind down
Yeah a good book cover is essential - something like this:
This would be funny
This would get you killed
would add "If I Did It" to that list

It is a highly underrated way to pass time imo. Highly entertaining but also increasingly more important for personal safety....
I feel like a creep when I do this, like I’m stalking them almost. But yeah sometimes it is interesting to look at a person and guess what they might do, who they are, or how the ended up the way they did.
I do too, but I have a friend that owns his own private security firm and he basically does this all day. Nice guy, but still.
Avoid people who might shoot you or push you off the tracks. It’s a pretty fun pastime and the bonus is you’re likelier to stay alive. Only applies in NYC tho
If you're looking to be productive, read earnings transcripts, investor presentations, etc
Realistically the subway helps me separate work and personal, so I just mess around with games on my phone
Practicing my fake smile for meeting with the prettiest girls on the train
You can download almost any audiobook you want in audiobookbay, and then listen to it in an audibook player. Can only recommend android audiobookplayers players
