I'd guess Pritzker is the investor blueprint most would romanticize being:.- Insane returns .- Generalist, mainly opportunistic.- Napkin math + sophisticated structuring.- Admired by other GOATs.- Mysterious via avoiding media.- Humble in any interview.

I am almost certain he knew the market leader $EXPD had a $10bn market cap at the time. Genuinely curious why he didn’t mention that… seemingly big enough and gives the market context? . Also, this was entertaining.

A thank you to @EverestBrady for letting me pepper him with questions about “being a machinist” for 30 minutes. The definition of “you learn something new every day”.

This is another $30bn+ market ap company that I didn't know existed. (Note: There are 720 so give me a pass). Marc was excellent - and especially for explaining "chromatography" in simplified terms.

It slowly died out after a year, but getting the pulp beat out of me was the best fitness of my life.

Upon leaving that first day, I was walking up the spiral staircase to leave the gym and my abs cramped up. There is truly nothing you can do with an ab cramp… I was literally paralyzed on a random step as people looked at me with concern. Then I got to my desk and my hands were.

I had a 25lb deficit versus everyone so it went as you’d expect. And first day in there with Caldwell - I could tell he was going to take it easy on me. But I got him with a shot annnnnd he unloaded. Some people require very little movement to unleash pain.

Caldwell was part of the core 5 in the club. Westpoint Grad and built like a brick shthouse. And after about 3 minutes of warmups, we just had gauntlets. 30-60 second rounds. Gloves. No headgear = No headshots…though plenty of chins were clipped and I think I have liver damage.

One day Leader says “Hey, a few guys and I used to have this fight club in London, are you guys in?”. (It was just boxing). I was born to make love, not war, but why not.

Leader sat behind me on the floor and quickly invited me and another analyst (Terminator) to do early morning workouts. 515am West Side Highway. Leader biked over with some mix of kettlebells, ropes, medicine balls, but ALWAYS an old school boombox to blast heavy metal. We’d be.

It started with an infamous sales MD returning to the US after building his career in Asia and a brief stint in London. Call him “Leader”. He was great to me, but had major demons (addiction). Fitness was how he was treating it. And at 6’3, 230lb, he was a monster.

Matt Caldwell, CEO of Florida Panthers, is getting a lot of well deserved shine with the Stanley Cups. This also gives me an excuse to share one of my favorite Trading Floor stories.
