Season of interns
Trading Goddess has a new hot intern working with her. The flood of summer interns on Wall Street has many people excited. Leveraged Sell-Out has a handy guide to understanding and bedding the hot interns.
Simply brilliant. No wonder Business Week dubbed him The Borat Of Wall Street . This guy is amazing. Some of his earlier entries are even better.
Leveraged Sell-Out guide on how to bed an intern
I like my women like I like my loafers: expensive, fit, and more often than not, with a bit of bling around their necks. They’re probably my two favorite things in the world, women and loafers. Put to it, I’m not even certain which one I’d pick over the other. I’d normally be tempted to select women, but, it is summer right now, meaning that until the government mandates a universally implanted, 3-month contraceptive device (sans mood swings), the winner would have to be my loafers—the ones I can safely slip into bareback.
Note: My affinity for black and brown loafers does not quite carry over to their female counterparts.
But summer means more to me than just unprotected loafer-sex. Summer means Coral Reef, Jake Blue, and Bermuda Pink. It means timeshares, outdoor dining, and Bethpage Black. It means a seersucker hoodie when it’s a bit nippy, and seersucker shorts when it’s not. Summer means various things to various people, but one thing it means for most people in finance and all of New York is: interns.
In what other scenario is a city so flooded with impressionable, overeager, and clueless minds as summer in Manhattan? I’m told there is a similar wave of little political interns towards D.C. this time of year, but frankly, I’m not even certain they get paid. And anyway, what is the overall impact of that industry when compared to that of finance? Negligible. Don’t get me wrong—activism is to be applauded, but only in hedge funds.
Back to the subject. Emotionally, summer interns act intimidated and obsequious. And even if they hate finance, they are hyper-aware of the comfort that would come with getting an offer (a feeling perhaps only comparable to early action / decision to college), and they are driven accordingly. This is their entire psychology, terribly simple and uninteresting.

Interesting observation. I have always hated the generalizations of a group of people with few common characteristics, but this is the way our world is shaped. We like to put simple labels on everything, so we can communicate faster.
Young people have to start from somewhere. Even the longest trip starts with a small step.
"Terribly simple and uninteresting"
People engage in stock trading, because they want to make money.
People go shopping, because they need to eat.
People go on vacations, because they need to relax and recharge.
People write blogs, because they want to be famous and maybe make some money. There is nothing better of feeling important and appreciated, isn't it Pradeep. I respect you too much to pay attention to your teasing. Your blog is insightful and I am learning a lot from it daily.
There is a reason for everything. Is that reason "terribly simple and uninteresting". Maybe. But who cares.
Those are not my opinions. That site is a parody site.
