Congrats on your new job! Welcome to the first-person world of a
mid-level stockbroker, as you begin your very first day at the
trading firm FERIOS. You’ve probably wanted this job since you were
six, right? Well, so have a lot of people… so you’ll have to fight
for it and prove that you’re the top dog for the job!
Just remember: profit is all that matters, the rules don’t apply if
you’re a winner, and only losers feel guilty for the pain, loss and
poverty that are the unfortunate but unavoidable by-product of the
critical and important work we do here.
It’s simple: your job is to make money for FERIOS. Buy the stocks
going up, sell before they go down. Short the ones that are going
to fall (or the ones you’re going to make fall). The more money you
make, the bigger your commission. And you want that commission,
don’t you? Well don’t worry, the rewards are limitless, if you’re
hungry enough.
If you’re really smart, you’ll find ways to influence the market to
your advantage. Think you can lobby an influential group to affect
the market? Do it. Get an opportunity to acquire majority shares to
move the needle? Take it. Drive down the currency of a foreign
country to improve the margins of the companies that import their
products? Why not? The only consequences that matter are the ones
that impact our bottom line.
Every Joe Schmo has access to the regular news. If you want to get
ahead of the spikes and crashes you’ll need to find the inside line
from more, shall we say, “exclusive” sources. And definitely don’t
let those rumors of a financial investigation get you down. No one
employed by FERIOS has ever been found guilty!
We’re one big happy team here at Ferios and nothing brings the team
together like competition. So in the spirit of togetherness you
better meet your daily profit targets and beat your coworkers’
results if you want to keep your job. We won’t hesitate to fire
anyone who can’t or won’t do what it takes to succeed…
The fruits of success are yours for the taking. Fast cars, lavish
parties, fancy apartments filled with beautiful furniture and
artworks. Of course, for any truly successful trader, work is its
own reward and their true home is the office so it’s a good thing
you can decorate your desk with photos of all your wonderful things
to remind you they exist.
