We like this story because it's filthy, nostalgic and wildly unsubtle.
Well, here's a fun blog we just found out about.
It's called "Occupy a job on Wall Street" and it purports to be the work of a former hedge funder [based on our perusal, it's either genuine or a spectacularly bizarre fake]. We recommend listening to all the episodes at your pace, but almost require that you listen to the pilot episode. It's titled "The Pelican" and it manages to spin an amazing yarn about early-aughts Wall Street, reminding us of a simpler, disgusting time and giving us a fun twist at the end.
The twist is a wondrously unsubtle blind item that [literally a matter of missing vowels] about a finance TV personality who apparently had herself quite a fun little cocaine habit and a skill that had almost nothing to do with previewing future trading action on cable TV before the bell.
So, please take a listen and let us know who you think "Mary from TV" could possibly be?
