Guest Manifesto: I’m from the Place where Hardcore is Beautiful
Guest Manifesto: I’m from the Place where Hardcore is Beautiful
(Click Here for The Top Ten ways to Make Money in a Down Economy)
In ancient times Hannibal gave birth to modern war strategy. Leading Carthage through the Alps and Pyrenees with War Elephants to earn many decisive victories against the Romans, he was calculating and fearless.
In today’s market, skilled marksmen/traders/PE bankers know to be the same. Only the war is not fought with swords and shields, its derivatives, the VIX, and economic data a-la durable goods. If you’re longhorn like Texas, you got impaled. Hopefully for your sake you ultra shorted it with SDS, SKF and DXD. You are not wearing armor to the Punic war, it should be Paul Stewart suits, Gucci loafers and you too can live life. Salvatore Ferragamo ties. I’m just saying, I’m trying to maintain my seat at Da Silvano, it is pike mackerel season.
We all know bloods been spilled and it’s still spilling. 7 MC’s have been put in the line and executed. Here’s where you remember that you were born on The Street. With that as your birth right, you need to remember to flex with the market.
If it’s selling join the herd. If it’s rallying, play your pipe. Don’t be in love with your positions. Keep your love locked down and I mean your bank account. That is why you woke up in this life. It’s what provided the villa in Mykonos to meet Mediterranean chicks while having a meze.
I know the hysteria’s bad, the media can’t keep your name out its mouth. But remember, they chose to report, you chose to scalp. They’re wearing Men’s Wearhouse shirts, not even suits, shirts. You’re killing them scooping chicks at the Conde Nast Travelers Awards after party suited down. They’re writing about places you go. The summation of their life decisions led them to media. You’re trading Tribune leverage loans and Petros Brasileiro LEAPS. Convert vanilla CDS from spread to points upfront.
And when you collect, Nas already told you, take it in blood.
Days of Grace tattooed like Cus D’Amato on my arm.

Hahaha, little finance bitch talking about Wall St. like it’s the 80’s again, and you’re Gordon Gecko. Do you really think that the banking sector deserves its slice of GDP, let alone corporate profits? You move stacks of money from one place to another. That’s it. You don’t produce anything, sell anything, create anything, innovate anything, research anything, or contribute in any meaningful way – you’re moneychangers. Face it, this is the end of an era, and good riddance.

Ah Plebian NY Corey,
I have been told that the more incensed the reply, the harder to the bone something cut. its ok, i understand your plight, pain and frustration. please note if i were you, i’d be equally incensed. I agree, we do not deserve our slice of the so called GDP pie. I even agree more that i dont produce anything of value. in fact i never want to deserve it or contribute outside of charitable giving. and by that i mean charitable balls with girls wearing evening gowns. with those assurances aside, it has never been the goal of my kind to contribute fairly. the goal has always been to heist and take. to feed off the back of serfs like you. you grease the wheels of the rich. thank you. perhaps a life of people making u feel subservient is eating at you. the point is to under deliever and be over compensated and i always have. maybe u can keep trying to earn what you deserve. side note, i want to thank you and your families tax dollars for the constant backstopping bailout that is going on in washington for some people i know, but not me. without you, certina people couldnt have had filet last night. without you and your tax dollars certain people i know couldnt have gone to scores and your municipality probably could’ve repaved a road in your two bit town. thanks ace. also note, yes the street is eating itself but at its heart it is reinventing itself. i cant predict if it comes back better or worse. but it doesnt matter to me bc im not some cog in the wheel. im prop meaning i scalp and take but i doubt you know what that means. ive been up the past quarter as the markets been down. i spent time this summer in Ischea and Capri. Did you?
MRS, freudian slip but you are right none the less.

Actually, it wasn’t a Freudian slip, you are simply bad at grammar & spelling.
I thought this was kind of funny though:
As a common pun goes, “A Freudian slip is like saying one thing, but meaning your mother.”

Strange that Paul Stewart makes you think of Mom, but stranger things have happened I suppose…
Aside from that little lesson though, great guest manifesto!!! Keep ’em coming.

Great guest manifesto. Too many people are complaining these days. If you are sharp like thorns, you can make money.

Enough with the Guest Manifesto’s, they’re all phonier than Bert Reynolds’ face.
This Douche wouldn’t know a G if one cock-slapped him in the face.
More to the point, he’s a poor writer. No wit. No hit lines. Just read 33 Strategies of War and figures himself on some Machiavelli shit/ masturbated to the Douglas “Greed is Good” speech one time too many (no homo).

Excellent point and I concur. Making money for the sake of making money, and perhaps even American style capitalism, is played out like Kwamé, and them fuckin’ polka-dots. Greed ain’t all good, and neither is having no code or honor beyond just gettin’ paid. Don’t get me wrong, I love the dough as much as Jay-Z and Biggie in their classic duet, but not at the expense of the greater good. What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul yourfavoritewritersfavoritewriter? And I know you got soul or else you wouldn’t be in here. You’ll be in my Hustlers Prayers tonight.
The rest is, well, you already know…
