What is wrong with that? Those guys chose a profession and are succeding at it, good for them !!!

I used to sit around wondering why i wasnt wealthy, when the lottery was going to pick my numbers, ect.Then i realized i need to choose a job that i can MAKE money at.Things have been steadily getting better since.Making more money then ever in my life.

Good for those folks! I wish I had the ball to make the move to trading for my main source of income. Those guys work under so much stress it's insane. More power to 'em.

Re: Wall Street- Bonuses top $20 Billion

my brother gets home at like 3 a.m. from taking customers out, then he wakes up at 5 a.m. to go play tennis with other customers before work, he's a wreck, just like i am, but he is huge, and i am looking to take santa's sleigh out with my wrist rocket. that's my goal for this year.

Obviously he must not be married with children. If so... to bad for the kids. Money isn't that important. In comparison to him.. I'm dead poor, but I don't miss a thing my 3 kids do. Anyway, congrats to him for a 1/2 a million bonus.

Those are the people that make the decisions that determine wether the company makes money or goes belly up. If you made a decision or a few of them during the course of a year that made a company a few million or more in profit, you surely expect to get a piece of it. A lot of them are also one investing a lot of thier own money in the company. Barring and fraud or wrong doing, they deserve it.

[/ QUOTE ] No, they don't. It is all a racket. Those pricks eat lobster on fees. I know the biz. It is a tightknit group of moneymongers. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] You just check out the bonuses that the "Bosses" get and the stock price has gone nowhere. I was in the "Biz" for years and years. I despise those people. Why is Sam's family in the top group of zillionaires? Ya, they did good 30 years ago. But, the workers? Never mind. The real travisty is the Wall Street deal- makers.

Re: Wall Street- Bonuses top $20 Billion

my brothers deals are mostly with morgan stanley and the solomon brothers. those are his two biggest accounts. the solomkon brothers have been known to be a little shifty, but my brother is as straight is they come. and yes he is married with three kids. one just graduated from notre dame last year, one is in college, the other is 14 or so and in high school. when you see his tired eyes you know he's working hard as hell.

The corporate execs are the real bastards I loathe. Profits are down, let's cut half the staff. There reward for making the stock holders money is a seven digit bonus, while Joe Worker gets a mortgage forclosure for Christmas. Fuck that shit.

Re: Wall Street- Bonuses top $20 Billion

Tommy, Tommy. Tommy. It is the rip-off of our country. Then you have a crash. (Can we all say, "Dot Com"). Fuk!!! These guys don't give a flying fuck about you and I. It is a group of fuks that prey on people that want to get a better deal than "money in the bank". After saying that, I can say this: " Gold is at a 20 year high. The market is at a 5year high. That ain't normal." I will stay in cash and wait until June 2006.
