Yeah, I could imagine. Tudor also printed money for, like, 25 years. I think, until 2012, they had never experienced a down year since 1990, or something. When I first came up here it was with Bankers Trust. The old schoolers used to tell us how much things had changed from back in the day. It was still all good for me, then SOX hit. That was the beginning of the end.
I always say that if I was here in the 80s I would be making a lot more money. The downside is that my suits would be horrid and I would have to wear my hair like George Jefferson. In life there are trade offs.
The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.
