It requires a New York accent
Or a British ark-sent.
How about a bit of brains, balls of steel and zen like ability to control your emotions.
Nope, ark-shually only a British ark-sent surf-fices.
Guess I should be working on my accent.

If the answer is they would do good, I wonder if a BB or HF would hire straight from one of these firms (of course I’m talking about a high performer)? Or, would they consider someone who came in with nothing but annual 30% returns over a ten year time period in a personal discount broker account?
