Peeping Paul

Did you ever wonder why some traders move from San Francisco to Chicago, Philadelphia, and even New York?  Yes, sometimes it’s because there are more lucrative opportunities for them on other trading floors, but sometimes it’s because they are forced to leave in order to save their reputations and start a new life in a new city.

Take Paul.  Paul had traded for many, many years.  While many thought he was a crooked trader due to the extra wide markets he made and the politics in his trading pit, he was viewed as harmless.  He had curly hair and glasses, and if you did not meet him on the trading floor you might think he was a nerdy scientist or mathmetician or something.

Paul was married with kids and in his spare time apparently attended soccer matches and other events around his hometown.  Again, here was a man making good money, a little shadey in terms of his trading behavior, but all in all a conservative, dorky, middle-aged man.

Well, one day Paul’s name was all over the news, and his face was no longer to be seen around the exchange.  He was peeping at a local girls’ college and got caught.  According to the news stories, the cops chased him back to his car and he got in and tried to run them over.  It was clear this was not a one time deal as he had a video recorder and tapes in his car.

Do you have a conservative, family-man living with you at home and making the “big bucks”?  You ever wonder what really turns them on??? 

Just something to think about …
