stripperDon’t expect your favorite salesman to be able to plunk down the plastic when he hits the strip-bar circuit with you next time. The NYSE and NASD tag-teamed on an announcement yesterday that they would file a proposal with the SEC for “principle-based standards that address the obligations of securities firms and individual brokers in connection with business entertainment.” Translation: No more titties. And how does the adult entertainment industry feel about this? Understandably bummed.

“Bankers and stock brokers make up a large part of our clientele,” said Lonnie Hanover, spokesman for the Scores gentleman’s club, which operates New York’s two largest adult entertainment establishments. “If you try to curtail their visits to Scores, then the world might as well come to an end.”

Indeed.

What kind of small-minded idiots have to take their clients/business partners to “strip clubs” in order to do business and network?

I mean, if you like throwing your money at t*ts, you might as well wipe you a** with it, because you will get nothing from both.

After reading these posts it seems that the Wall Street types have a inflated sense of purpose because they have a job they feel is the most important in universe. What they do not realize is that any intelligent person can accomplish what they do with the right education and “on the job” training.

You can train a f*cking monkey to trade, if it is smart enough.

I landed a huge account when I worked at a leading wirehouse after I took the prospective client to scores.  7 large in lap dances worked out to return me about 200 large in commish over the following two years.  Scores is an absolute business tool for Wall Street.  We let analyst spew complete bullshit 24 hours a day on CNBC and pay people like Gabelli insane sums for mediocre performance, but we can’t offer tits to our clients?  The world IS coming to an end.

"Scores is an absolute business tool for Wall Street.”

What does that say about traders, as well as their clients, when traders have to land accounts by taking these clients to strip clubs.

Man… No wonder there is so much sexism in the business. Not just the strip clubs, but the egomaniac traders.

Are you married? How does your wife feel about spending money you made as a result of you flipping dollars to some slut?

Now THAT’s priceless.

My wife’s probably doing shit that makes my trips to Scores seem tame.  At least I am out working, her sorry ass is out shopping all day.  The ends justifies the means, so if it takes strippers to make the clients happy, so be it.

I think Wallstreeters and their clients should think outside of the box and just start stripping for each other...hell...I’d pay good money to see that!

I’m not trying to bust on your or your family, but it seems f**ked up that the “system” promotes this kind of behavior.

what’s wrong with titties-for-business?  why must we insist on the economic inhibitors that are morals?  especially in this day and age

why blame the bankers for seeing that paying 7 can yield 200? if you have issues with titty bars, for one you have issues with humanity, and secondly, your rage should be targeted at the clients who give their business to titty providers. dont hate the player..
