Plastics


“What are you going to do now?”

At this point in my life, this is probably my least favorite question.

On Sunday, I will be an official product of America’s college education system.  It’s a stereotypical closure of youth where I’ll be given “advice,” along with my “congratulations,” whether I ask for it or not.

The beginning of new times is always more exciting than the end of old times.

Ben Braddock from The Graduate (one of my favorite movies) is told “plastics” as his key piece of advice.  I’m curious what my zinger, if any, will be.

Solar panels? Wind turbines? The Internet? Congratulations, either way. You've got Government Sachs pedigree! Raise a fund.

Haha. I agree with all of your zingers, and thanks for the graduation love.

I've got a fund idea. Let's start one for clueless 18 – 30 year olds (I
refuse to say Gen Y) investing fundamentally that leverages existing social
networks..
