    If you read it with the appropriate level of sarcasm I believe it was written with, it's a humorous read!

    Even as satire, it's pretty poor.

    Then again, I'm not on Wall Street.

    "When you control time, you don't need to know what time it is" - so true

    I remember as an analyst back in '95 I finally was able to buy a nice watch and (probably because of Bond) decided on a Seamaster Pro. Well, I got it and literally the next day noticed that my VP had the same watch... so I went back and exchanged it for a Speedy Auto which sparked my love for Speedies (although I "devolved" to the true non-auto Speedies).

    I'm controlled by time, guess that's why I keep buying watches. Thanks for the read!
