WALL STREET WARRIORS
SANDRA:
There’s only one bottom line on Wall Street and that bottom line is how much money you make.
PARKER:
Whatever your background was - it’s can you make money? Can you contribute to profitable ideas?
BOB:
This is like being in a fox hole all day long with your enemies. I’ve seen many people come close to blows over a transaction.
TIM:
Greed is ugly. Make as much money as you can so that you can get out of there before it turns you to the dark side.
BOB NUNN (AMEX Specialist):
Do you want me to buy another straight plastic? Or 0 plastic? It’s a public offer, not me. Ok? So, stop pulling my chain.
JOSEPH REISZEL (Floor Broker):
If you weren’t around, who would I make fun of? I need you.
BOB:
Well.
JOSEPH:
I need you.
BOB:
You need me.
BOB:
You think it’s easy to make money. Isn’t it?
JOSEPH:
There is not limit for you, huh?
BOB:
What do you need?
JOSEPH:
90 bid, $10,000.
BOB:
Sold.
JOSEPH:
Point taken.
BOB:
P.K.
JOSEPH:
How do you spell that?
BOB:
You’re a very funny guy.
JOSEPH:
I try my best.
BOB:
I think Wall Street gets a bad name. I think people think that it’s a bunch of stuffed shirts with Master’s Degrees in Finance and MBAs from Wortman and Harvard. Forget about it! There are real people down here with real emotions and real passions.
JOSEPH:
Floor traders basically, they usually, have some kind of head piece on like I do. The ear piece is just to communicate with my booth to let the know what I’m doing or what I should be doing. That’s the mind behind the puppet. That’s the one that’s pulling my strings basically. Those are mostly option booths right there. All the way at the top, in the middle, that’s an equity firm. And then the south balcony, that one, is an equity and option firm that does both. When they call me with their orders, they tell me what I’m getting, it comes through my hand held, the electronic device that I have, and I run around executing orders. Sometimes I have to leave them with the specialists who watch it for me because I have so many that I have to do. Timmy?
Guy on floor:
Yeah.
JOSEPH:
68. Can I check it again, please?
Guy on floor:
SCA, yes sir. Here you are.
JOSEPH:
Thank you very much.
Guy on floor:
I’ve got another 2,000 buy here. Sell 1,500 at 61 APEC.
JOSEPH:
Thank you sir. Party on.
TIM SYKES (Start Up Hedge Fund):
Most people don’t understand what I do. Most people don’t understand what a hedge fund is. When I lived down in Florida, I said I run a hedge fund, they thought I was in landscaping, you know. That’s not even a joke. Traders were trying to, uh, figure out the future, I mean this is the last, uh, undiscovered mystery. Traders are no better than 100 years ago, you know. I mean, we’re still guessing where the market is going to be. Yeah, we have technical analysis. We have all of these tools and try to figure out what’s going on but we don’t know. It’s the great race to try to figure out the unknown. That’s what it’s about.
TIM:
10:21 A.M.
TIM:
Today, my mom is coming over for a little bit to, uh, say hello and clean and replenish my water supplies. Um, she’s kind of my personal slave.
TIM’S MOM:
May I come in?
TIM:
Hey Mom.
TIM’S MOM:
Hey Timmy. How are you?
TIM:
Good. How are you?
TIM’S MOM:
Good.
TIM:
Hello.
TIM’S MOM:
I come here once every two or three weeks to clean his room and to do his bathroom and it gives me a chance to see him. He’s still my baby. I can’t help it. My old child. So I just come. I feel needed. I do my “mommy” thing. I make Timmy’s bed. At home, my husband makes our bed. Ha ha! I have my own cleaning lady but somehow I became Timmy’s cleaning lady.
TIM:
She cleans the apartment. She brings me food, water, does my laundry. Um, my other roommate cooks for me. My mom’s not that good of a cook.
