Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©
He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
It seems that every time I write about HBS, the more I get attacked. The WSJ did a piece on Harvard’s Yacht parties last weekend: The Ultimate M.B.A. Networking Event? A Yacht Party in Croatia. (they don’t get attacked, since journalism on that scale can’t be silenced). The folks who …
Chase Hughes Ellipsis Manual analysis and engineering of human behavior became a reference book for those who hold the power and are interested in controlling their subjects. Because, make no mistake, you and I are “subjects” in the hands of the higher hierarchy… In this book you learn language patterns …
You’ve probably heard variations of this line, whether it’s “bad things happen to good people.” or “good things happen to happy people” or “You know that saying, bad things don’t happen to good people? That’s a lie. – Tori Amos. Let’s look at some more thoughts on the subject: “I don’t …
Rejection is a major and constant part of life. I got more than a few emails from people overwhelmingly concerned with being rejected: at work, in life, etc. Since this is a lifestyle publication that has predominantly featured career advice (at least in the middle years: 2016-18), I’m going to …

In an interview with Yahoo News on Wed. hedge fund manager “Paul Tudor Jones sees ‘massive boom’ after COVID-19 vaccine gets released.” “The vaccine’s going to bring us back.
