[/ QUOTE ] The first question is pretty obvious: David openly admits he is a lazy genius, just read the majority of his threads. In the finance forum he basically admits his really weird way of investing is flawed because he is too lazy to actually look into what a complany actually does. With his life posts, he openly admits he lacks drive to do things. I'm not judging him at all, it is a fact: Skalnsky is a lazy genius. I guess you can say that everyone on wallstreet is a bloodsucking money whore. It might be true, I still haven't worked on wallstreet yet so I don't really know. I know something along the lines of the fact that Wallstreet makes the markets incredibly efficient and efficient markets are one of the cornerstones of our society. I personally take the stance that I can contribute (as I have to Darfur, and my mom's charity) money at this point in my life to good causes, but that my primary focus is selfish: I want to find something I enjoy waking up everyday in doing. I'm not saying I will love wallstreet--Im just giving it a shot.

I am not sure if Mr. Slansky understands that ........ ~stephen feraca |

I admire people who take big risks to achieve their goals yet I do not wish to take these huge risks myself [/ QUOTE ] This part definitely wasn't obvious in your earlier posts IMO. I read it exactly as dali read it, but didn't take it to heart as much since I've never been broke nor done excessively well in poker. |

Dali,
Strassa isn't a closer like the true poker talents (Doug "technologic" Kim, for example). |

I save my disdain for Annie Duke (who has money only because she married/divorced a rich guy, and I don't believe is a winning player) [/ QUOTE ] Ben Duke was maybe a thousand-aire. Ben and Annie were basically living at poverty level when Howard initially taught Annie how to play poker and staked her for something like $2500. Her money is all from poker (and subsequent poker-related endorsements, etc). |

[/ QUOTE ] I actually think some of his NVG posts are pretty good, although it got a little out of hand, but I do think it would be hilarious to suspend Sklansky from 2+2. |
