This forum helped me go from Blackstone to Facebook to YCombinator startup founder (rebrand.ly/getourchat). Ask me anything!
Wow does this forum brings back memories! WallStreetOasis was a welcome discovery my freshmen year in college and I checked it religiously back then - trying to gauge the relative prestige and status of different firms and sucking in all the hilarious and offensive terminology along with it....

Blackstone to launch its own hedge fund
Not too surprising given that Blackstone is now a diversified asset management firm as opposed to a pure PE firm and already has the world's largest fund-of-funds. It looks like the fund will be concentrated long-short equity. Not sure what their "edge" is here since L/S is a highly saturated...

Soros Obituary Published In Error... They Meant to Publish Dell's
Firstly, I had to laugh when I saw the Reuters story and the accidentally published Soros obituary. Imagine the look on his face when he saw that story. Secondly, I wasn't exactly laughing when I saw this story this morning . In a letter to Dell ’s board, Blackstone cited an “unprecedented” 14...

Take note, monkeys: if you ever actually "make it" in this business, this is how you want to sound in an interview. The word indefatigable comes to mind as he laughs off the factors that give everyone else on Wall Street ulcers. He calls himself "irrelevant" in the context of the juggernaut he...
