Trader’s Narrative

You remember the story of the Goldman Sachs trader out of London who was addicted to facebook, right? he not only spent ungodly hours on facebook but even posted a warning letter from his employer on his facebook profile!

Well, the global schadenfreude countdown has ended! Charlie Barrow has been dismissed by Goldman Sachs.

And Charlie has learned his lesson. His new diligence can be seen here as he practises his pit hand gestures. Here he’s ‘bidding’ on 4 vodka martinis.
