MikeFromBaruch and mynameisgoldstein
Can't help but go for the obvious: thebrofessor
If we are going by the most knowledgeable and informative, I vote for APAE
I second this
definitely adding APAE, all young monkeys should check out his comment history, incredibly informative, he really puts in the time to right hq posts
I nominate AndyLouis . He's the real MVP!
Esuric DeepLearning DickFuld @angel may think of more
also @My Name is Jeff" formerly Frank Quattrone FratLord still want Fear The Bulge to come back
Who is Angel Molester? Totally not my old username... :)
ah yes
yoo thanks!
No Ebolamonkey?
I'd put him up there with my name is goldstein for worst member of 2017
I've really been liking brotherbear 's stuff as of late
@catthegreat" has very strong opinions that give new perspective
@TNA" may have gone full Trump this year, but I'll still read everything he writes
GoldenCinderblock has made a resurgence this year, and I love me some goldie.
Thanks, appreciate the shoutout.
goldie is rarely relevant, but always entertaining, love his stuff
@TNA for sure. Consistently informative and entertaining
thebrofessor @TNA"
Martinghoul
On the S&T Forum he replies to almost all threads and has been helpful. ALso if he does not have an idea about a topic he does point towards resources that can help in understanding that topic.
CRE has dropped some great stuff this year too.
Thanks, man
yeah for sure, he's on my shortlist
I always liked you, AndyLouis
@catthegreat" for most original perspective
Thank you. As they say, better to die original than as a dull copy ... :)
Sil gets my vote
probably mine too, or tie between him and brofessor
Sil way better than me, I may have a larger body of work but he's been more helpful
xgozax Prescott Moncrief lll GreenspanAndHam IlliniProgrammer
I assume my position as a yearly nominee still stands.
for sure, 1) whether right or wrong i think you often have a unique perspective, 2) this speaks for itself https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/blog/qa-with-heister-my-total-worth-is-…
I nominate thebrofessor @TNA" and Sil .
I hope these nominees will continue the tradition of greatness we have seen in the dicks, the dongs, and the bulges who have come before them.
Sil in all respects, and it isn't particularly close for me with respect to this year. He has been an absolutely sterling contributor this year, and actually motivated me to start contributing to the site over the last 10 days. APAE thebrofessor
DickFuld gets the honorary mention :P
https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/strangest-thing-youve-seen-while…
What exactly was the ‘motivation’ involved here? I guess I’m going to need to check @sil”’s post history to see where this inspiration came from.
For me, it’s absolutely thebrofessor this year.
If I am actually put on the nomination list this year, I will quit the site and start a massive online strike against the site. It would seriously be stupid to put me on the list this year as I didn’t post much, was off my game, and basically put no effort in. I will strike much harder if IlliniProgrammer is nominated as he did even less than me. If you won before, you shouldn’t be allowed to be nominated again.
If I think of other people, I will return.
EDIT: BobTheBaker for being relentless with his viewpoint after getting shit on repeatedly. I probably threw the guy 500 SBs this year. If everyone is against him, he still advances his position. You gotta love that.
Also, I vote for the user with the biggest tits a la Matt Lauer and Bill O’Reilly.
Thanks for the nod, I come with the real regardless of the hate. Now shower me with MS fellas.
I nominate @Lloyd BIankfein" / Angel Molester. He's racked up an insane amount of banana points this year, started a ton of engaging discussions, and is a seriously entertaining user!
did you just assume my gender?
"I'm Triggered AF!!" -- Lloyd Blankfein :)
Gender no longer exists in our society, haven't you heard?
Fear The Bulge @TippyTop11"
good catch on TippyTop
sadly no sight of FTB this year
Can you leverage a WSO member of the year award into a job at Goldman?

"thx. I seem to be having some trouble viewing. can you pls chk? Will be in movement so would love to have by am. Don't work all night for this. thx, Andy."

Thanks Patrick and Andy.
I nominate Rufus1234 for WSO Member of the Year
Just because the OG is gone doesn’t mean the sequels can’t flourish
wait, is Rufus also Brady/mbavsmfin/mbagrad?!?!?!
I had no idea
We need more names on the petition
https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/official-petition-to-bring-back-…
Lmao @ the sequels
Lloyd, Cat and CRE
Appreciate it, man
thanks, buddy. Good to hear from you again.
@TNA" - will always read his posts even if I disagree, is pretty pragmatic about msf expectations
Sil - gives the best advice for the site
