Rarely do I enjoy reading something with the word 'salmon' in the first line of text, except when preceded by the name 'Felix' or as part of a menu at a fancy restaurant. However, a new feature in NY Mag might make me reconsider that arbitrary criterion that I rigidly adhere to.
Just a taste, to set the mood:
The salmon-colored pages of the Financial Times are not the place you turn to these days to find good news. But on the morning of November 4, Jim Chanos, president of Kynikos Associates on West 55th Street, the world’s biggest short-selling hedge fund, read an article in the paper with irrepressible glee. A colleague had e-mailed him a link. The headline: GOLDMAN FUND LOSES $990M AFTER 10 MONTHS..
It's a non-stop thrill ride from that point on, and it doesn't stop until all the juicy tidbits of info about legendary short-seller Jim Chanos are out in the open. For example, did you know Jim was the master of the mixtape in college and hosted EPIC parties for the Yale hockey team? Neither did we, but now we feel like our shared life experiences will one day lead to us being a filthy-rich opportunist too. A boy can dream.
