What’s the story behind your username?

I really wanted to work in technology PE and I love shitty puns.

damn, I thought you were a hot chick named Kelly.

I had Isaiah_53_5 tattooed on my right shoulder in Hebrew in 2010, then when I signed up for WSO I used the same moniker. 

Paul Volcker was the single greatest force to catalyze 40 years of economic prosperity, and

quantitative easing and the massive inflation it creates (which doesn’t show up in CPI) is already starting to obliterate our country. Our generation will bear the heavy burden of the trillions of dollars printed by the Fed over the past decade coupled with a now unsustainable national deficit.

Btw - love the Kelly Criterion. It's a brilliant bet sizing philosophy.

My man I really like me some nuggetz

I create a new throwaway every few months, as I’ve seen my shitposts get reposted on Patrick’s LinkedIn and don’t want some HR sleuth cancelling me 

Simple story. My meat is little.

Pretty self-explanatory but was an intern at a MM at the time with my sights set at a BB. Ended up somewhat reaching my goal (I am EU based and ended up at the biggest EU bank).

Changed it from theAudiophile since I found myself starting to both agree and disagree at the same time with certain posts and I like the debate. Otherwise it would be something like SEConquerer. Or Finsultant.

I have designed and built my own mech60 keeb.

The sky is falling

I took on too much student (credit card) debt....

Derivative of an oldschool bodybuilding(dot)com meme.  Phonetically, Hugh Myron ---> "u mirin'?" --- > "you admiring [gains/physique/lift]?" 

Makes more sense when you realize I made this account almost a decade ago.  Fuck.   

I love techno and Im a demon on the dance floor 

Chose the wrong profession

Created my account over breakfast one morning…

Triangle Chocolate

I like William Gibson and Keanu Reaves. That movie is sick as fuck. One of the best examples of the cyberpunk aesthetic. It’s just great. That and the 1995 Ghost in the Shell movie are top tier.

guess

i had a question to ask

Got really interested in the "Billionaire Boys Club" case in Beverly Hills. I thought Joe Hunt was super intelligent (although he got caught) and inspiring for how old he was running a fund. Haven't heard of any traders on here being inspired by him like I was but... to each their own.

Up for a round of Gwent? 

Nothing remarkable, just the shortened form of my West African native name, and I like the numbers 1 (maybe for Tolkien's One—Eru Iluvatar; and then also 9, i.e., the Nazgul)

Vices

If the WSO hardo persona was a username

I like cheeseburgers

I started in consulting before going to PE, and a part of me still feels very connected to that job. Also, it reminds me no not be a dick online because if I literally say "kind-hearted" then it would be weird to not be kind hearted.

pierogi are delicious

Random generator from WSO

Got mine from an episode of Action Bronson's "F*ck That's Delicious" when Mr. Bronson refers to his annoying, incredibly rotund friend Big Body Bes as "the big body bugatti of sexually disappointing Puerto Rican women."

Needless to say, that one liner left a lasting impression on me 

“Yo bartender, Jobu needs a refill!”

Pretty self-explanatory here

Pulp fiction is one of my favorite movies and I love the scene where Jules and Vincent are talking about how a quarter pounder is called a royale with cheese in France

I blaze lines of ket off my dealers car keys

When I made the account, I was juvenile, cretinous, and frequently inebriated as a consequence of ingesting fermented, then distilled, sugarcane molasses

I also like rhymes 

I don’t remember, might’ve thought something about a buoy sinking if carrying too much weight like a company might with too much debt

Mine is the technical I fucked up when I was just starting out deciding on ib. Had sent a bunch of reach out emails, a credit suisse Director (now fired lol) randomly called me up while I was in the cafeteria and asked me do you or do you not use Equity value/EBIDTA, I'm a non finance major at a non target so I didn't really know and said yes (stupid now I get it) and he proceeded to tell me he's not going to help and cut the call. It's nice to look at that and see how far I've come since then.

I love Kung Fu Panda

Chicken and rice slaps

I don't wear suede shoes.

Hawaii area code 

My nickname 

unable to rest or relax as a result of anxiety or boredom.

Self explanatory

so I get tagged every time someone makes a top 10 list

Because who doesn't like Killa Cam and Dipset

2008 financial crisis + 8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture.

My idol

I transfered from a target to a non-target

self explanatory 

I work in Oil & Gas and I always enjoyed the dumb joke that oil comes from dead dinosaurs.

Note: oil doesn't really come from dead dinosaurs. Oil formed from biomass that existed before the time of what we consider dinosaurs, although it does come from prehistoric plants and animals (like plankton), so if you think of a plankton rather than Little Foot when someone says dinosaur, I guess you could argue oil comes from dinosaurs.

Can’t talk about mine. Rule 1.

Math, time, numbers fascinate me.

Play on the name of one of the great hedge funders of the 80’s and 90’s, Paul Tudor Jones. Plus I love fast cars (two door coupe)

I'm guessing you were one of the hundreds of IU kids asking for "5 or 10 minutes" every day

I eat a lot of Chipotle

I was interested in trading during university and wanted to engage in the trading section of the forum. I thought, what's a generic name that doesn't give away any info about me and shows I'm interested in trading... thus traderguy123 was born.

got the nickname the professor on a surf trip

use the word bro WAY too much

there ya go
