the other side of wall street 144—149.doc

there was plenty of gold on the horizonI simply had to find my pot. Jim was wildly emotional, but from what I could tell, honest and fair. jeff and I become good friends through the years, and I came to know him as pragmatic and balanced. Jim and jeff complemented each other as partners, and my skill-set figured to mesh equally well. When I told Slaino of my plan, he asked me a simple question: ”do you trust them?” it was a simple yet critical criterion. Would they watch my back? Would they put my interests on par with their own? would they do the right thing ? I believe they would , and we met at the Gramercy Tavern in Manhattan to discuss the remaining details. 遍地皆黄金，满眼即机遇。我需要的只是抓住那个属于我自己的机会，拿起我的那个装钱的罐子。 Jim相当地情绪化，但就我所知，他同时也是一个诚实公正的人。Jeff和我是多年的好友，在我的印象中他是一个稳重而中庸的实际主义者。Jim和Jeff在合作中非常互补，相得益彰。而我，则是他们之间的润滑剂，使他们更好地磨合。 当我把这个计划告诉斯莱恩时，他张嘴就来了这么一句话——“你信任他们吗？” 这个问题貌似简单实则关键——在燃眉之际时，他们会顾及我的安危吗？在贸易搏杀中，他们会把我的利益看得如同他们自己的利益吗？——我相信他们会，后来我们又约在曼哈顿的 格拉梅西酒馆见了一面，讨论了这个关于计划的其他细节 Cramer Berkowitz had a proven track record, beating their benchmark over the lifecycle of the fund , but recent years had proven more challenging, and they were looking to jumpstart their performance. I was coming from a different direction, but we all wanted the same thing, it was hard to contain my enthusiasm as we discussed our future together. The energy was palpable as we talked about the markets and the world at large. Jim continued to reference a financial website called TheS, which he co-founded in 1996 and took public in MAY 1999. I’d heard of it, but wasn’t familiar with what it was or how it fit with the world of money management. I would soon find out, for better and for worse. Cramer Berkowitz 公司有一个公认的成就打破了基金周期的标准，而近些年来这变得日益困难，所以他们开始寻找新鲜的血液去促进他们的发展。我来自一个不同的领域，但是我们的目标是相同的，所以当我们一起讨论我们的未来时，我难抑心中的激动和热情。 当我们畅谈市场和世界时大家都表现出浓厚的兴致。JIM一直提到一个他和别人共同在1996年创建继而在1999年5月上市的名为“那条街”（TheS）的经济网站。我曾经听说过这个网站，但不清楚它具体是什么样子的，或者说，不明白它怎么去做金钱管理这个主题。但不久我就会知道，也许比我想象的好，也许比我想象的坏。 LUCKY CHARMS For those managing money at the beginni
