Reminiscences of stock operators


The year is 2015, the scene a bar in Manhattan downtown:

Broker 1: Hey dude, remember that Goldman SEC thing back in 2010?
Broker 2: Yeah, that was wild!
Broker 1: Damn, you remember how all those bloggers were screaming about the end of Goldman?
Broker 2: Hahaha, Freakin' idiots! The suit was going to clean up WallSt or something, right?
Broker 1: HA! Yeah! All that contagion, and a mountain of lawsuits or something..HA!
Broker 2: I just strolled in on Monday morning and bought the fuck out of the market.
Broker 1: Of course...you just had to...... So obvious. Another beer?
Broker 2: Sure.
