If you've really been all that then I question how you don't understand what forces there are here. I have lived a life of paying attention to what the street does and what big companies do; they're the same. You may have been in these roles, but that does not mean you've been privy, or wanted to be involved, in the shit that goes on beyond the board rooms and the corporate headquarters. All that plays out during business hours and in full view of all employees is much different than strategies that are hatched at night. I was at a party late into the night at the Hamptons home of a very big Hedge Fund Executive and after the booze and cocaine got working the real deals became very apparent. There's the corporate face and the real face. And if you've been in those roles and haven't had to question the status quo or be involved with questionable people and see how they react and subsequently treat you then maybe you're just lucky.
