The guy doesnt know what a choke is.

I've been noticing his posts lately and I must say that I agree. People with that stature normally don't flaunt their wealth, assets.

You are either fake or stuck up.

he has just as much right as you do to come on here and post this trash. this is a CAR FORUM.

the part about a choke...he is building the car right? from ground up? maybe its a project that he just started and doesnt know much about cars? hmmmmm MAYBE

fuck off with this trash about other members.

Don't get me wrong there, I don't mind hearing about his project or what not but he doesn't have to mention it in almost every post. He can make a thread about it.

For example, he made a thread about his house which I had no problem with and posted in it but when he mentioned selling it to a beyond member for an amount, I'm not sure if he was actually offering to sell it or just wanted to mention the value of it.

I'm not "trashing" him but the only posts that I saw from him mentioned one of his posessions whcih I didn't like and like him I have a right to speak my mind.

dude, who gives a shit if he has all of this stuff. ignore this is you don't like it. but to pick and find a bunch of his posts and make a thread about it is usless. how about you start ranting on about other peoples car's?? some people are proud of what they have done and his house is a huge investment and i would be proud of it, but still i wouldn't post it but who cares. just don't respond to his posts and maybe he will stop. all your doing by creating a thread like this is giving him more attention

M. alex what do you do for a living? Did you inherit all this cash, or make it yourself, how old are you? you really do flaunt your shit though, on the other hand, if any of us were in his situation, I bet you'd do it too. I'm sure hes just proud, maybe a little too proud ;). Or he could just be some teenager still living with his parents. I dunno.

Shit who cares what he say's, it's his right and he's using it. All I can say is at 23 and being a hedge fund manager (if that's true) making that kind of money would be awesome.

Long story short - worked at a managed futures firm as a data donkey (typing stuff), learned the operations quickly (apparently I'm pretty smart, who knew), demonstrated my knowledge, was brought on full time, developed a bunch of models for energy based derivatives, company went bust after Refco and I was picked up by another whose portfolio structure was having trouble due to mutual fund timing allegations and fixed it up.

If you're wanting out, unless you're working at a financial institution right now and have some hook-ups who can bring you in and train you, the best bet would be to look into getting a CFA - http://www.cfainstitute.org/

Unless you've got a way to get your foot in the door, it's generally your best bet.

Jealous people suck. :drama:

I don't know - it's not so much jealousy here - it's how you should act. 23 and a hedge fund manager. Does daddy own the bank?

I just don't have the respect for people that have everything handed to them. Buddy who worked his ass off stocking shelves to buy his first '93 civic worked his ASS off.

I mean malex could very well have earned his position rightfully and respectfully, however I just see his possessions as a glorified allowance at this point.

No kidding... Love to hear about the MK3, but seriously, an MK3 can't relate to everything here, and he uses it to do so. It is flaunting it, and not everyone is so fortunate... And I AM that guy who worked his ass off for his 92 Civic! I mean, congrats on enjoying your car, but seriously, make a single thread and don't bring it up everytime you speak.

:werd: So what if your rich, it's best to keep it to yourself and not shove it in people's faces all the time.

Also, Beyond has rules, he was banned once before for breaking Rule #9, he might get banned again, because his posts are annoiying.

On the other hand, I'm quite interested in the Cobra he is building. He should make a thread about it instead of hi-jacking other threads blabbing off about it.

[Anton]

A lot of beyond members are well off but they don't go around stating how much money they have or what car they have in every thread.

m.alex, if you worked your way up then great for you but I don't believe that's true. If someone actually had to climb the ladder and start at the bottom they are much more humble. There is a difference between being proud of what you accomplished and gloating.

Also, since you're 99atlantis, you didn't have respect for other people's cars and their choice of styles/mods. If you struggled to get where you are, you would have more respect for the people that work hard everyday and take pride in their cars, spend all their money on them. Not everyone has the same opportunities as you.


Jealous people suck.

The topic is a pet peeve of mine, I worked hard to get where I am but I never gloat about what I accomplished to others. When others do it, it irritates me just like a lot of other members, nothing to do with jealousy.

YTD I've returned a hair under 37%.....and I doubt that regardless of how powerful Daddy is, he doesn't own the US economy and order the stuff I buy to go up/down in value as needed :rofl:

It's not about him ensuring your continued profitability, it's about him getting you in the position that you are in which is a major contributing factor of your success. Basically - without daddy would you be where you are now?

[01RedDX]

[Orbie]

Don't worry ogpog, I'm sure a lot of people share your opinion and it's definitely a class issue. Sure some people do better than others in life but those people are split into two groups. The ones who care what other people think and want everyone to know what they have done, and the ones who could care less what other people think because they know what they have accomplished and don't need anything else to convince them of that.

There are many people on Beyond that have done well for themselves. You don't hear people like Rage bragging about all he's done to get where he is, although he definitely has all the opportunity. Judging by some of the quotes that were posted, this guy has gone out of his way to boast about his material possessions. Also seeing that he has been banned and still comes back to talk about this stuff makes me think he needs the attention.

If I remember correctly Benyl had a great signature with a saying that would address this very topic, but I can't remember what it was since he changed it!!

[nadroj23]

^^ by making this thread isnt that giving him the attention? why just not answer back give him no attention and maybe he will stop.

but i still feel this thread is pointless whether you people agree with the OP or not this is pointless. i love how we have to go back to highschool and single one person out because he is/acts different then others. sorry but thats just how i feel about this thread. its the internet expect every type of person you can think of, and they will be there. i just dont understand why it bothers you guys so much....honestly other then your pet peeve why?

[Lo)2enz0]

i don't know why you guys are doing this. who cares if his damn helped him get a good position. guess what my dad is doing the same for me when i graduate.

there is nothing wrong with this, if you have the opportunity who won't take it

yes/no - and I've never tried to portray anything else (e.g., look at me, I was born in the ghetto and worked my way up the ladder)

Would I get where I was today without him - absolutely not - HIs success opened a lot of doors to me which would be unavailable to most; however, once those doors were opened, it was up to me to make the most of them.

E.g., my very 1st job ever was at that futures investment firm when I was 19 or so - his contacts got me in the door as a general secretary type function (data entry) (normally you'd need a few years investment banking (or similar) experience or a CFA), but I made myself an analyst by proving myself valuable to them..,......if I just sat on my ass , if the firm hadn't gone bust, I'd still be a general entry-level data entry person.

Lol, no, but most of these companies arn't looking to hire unless you're super impressive (after SRT went bust after Refco, I tried to shop around Calgary for another futures firm, but it was very hard to get anywhere) - sometimes you have to start at the bottom just to get the foot in the door. Heck, one of my friends has his CFA and MBA and right now he's making, I believe, 35k/yr as just a junior futures analyst - poor timing for him + (at least last time i looked, which was last October, heh) there isn't (wasn't) a huge demand in Calgary right now unless you know somebody.

Having a great deal of money does not mean you have a great deal of character. This guy is quite full of himself. When I was in Mexico last year I met the grandson who is the heir to the Scott Empire (paper goods - sporting doods etc...) The guy is very young but very down to eartin character. He didn't brag about his wealth and only offered up the info in conversation. Something that M.alex can't comprehend.

But maybe he places his value in how much money he has...to each their own.

He didn't brag about his wealth and only offered up the info in conversation. Something that M.alex can't comprehend.

But maybe he places his value in how much money he has...to each their own.

Ask him if I can have some of his money :drool:

Money aside, I'm cocky because I have to be - I'm heavily involved in corproate governance (mostly hostile take-overs and liquidations) - it's an uphill battle on every side - less than a 50% success rate in the industry, so you have to be cocky to convince investors you can do it, and even more cocky to have the balls to confront management and basically say 'Yea, hi, we're planning on taking control of your commpany and liquidating it :) '.

Go talk to other dissident activists like Goldstein (who mentored me a bit) and you probably won't want to be in the same room as him We're cocky because we have to be to live these lives (not that I didn't always have a big ego, this just swlled it up a bnit :D )

It wouldn't bother you as much if you took his comments with a grain of salt. However, by starting this thread, you've inadvertently brought more attention to how rich he is. :nut:

M.alex, it has been asked before but you haven't answered yet, what is then name of the fund you manage. I am considering moving some of my money around and if you are making 37% returns on the funds then I would like some more info on your fund. I.e. name of it, what it is into, how aggressive it is, etc.

You must not have known me during the albertacars.net days lol.

When you're young, and have a lot of disposable income, you tend to do stupid shit. And brag about it. I went through that phase too, so I have no right judging someone for doing something that I did myself.

being cocky in business has nothing to do with being cocky all the time. You business is not unlike many others in that how you portrait yourself goes a long way in sealing a deal. But it's how you handle yourself outside of that situation that defines you.

Let your accomplishments do the talking instead of your mouth (or keyboard)


I'm curious as to why you feel the need to post what you do. Are you looking for some validation? Is it a way of convincing yourself that you arrived?...or maybe you just like to blow your own horn. Either way, it shows immaturity.

I find it hard to believe that any intelligent corporation would hire a uneducated individual in a financial position with no past education. I know there are certain individuals who say you don’t need post-secondary….what is the name of this fund?

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not coming on here to be jealous. I have a driveway full of goodies, but I think its funny that a 23 year old comes onto a local forum to brag about all the shit he has…… And makes all these claims. GIVE ME A BREAK.

And posting the CFA link. UMMMM do you understand that you can’t get your CFA level 1 without a post-secondary degree?

[USED1]

At the end of the day it is the internet and people can be whatever they want behind a keyboard. BTW I'm an airforce fighter pilot that is a majority owner of a major corporation but I can't disclose which one.

:rofl: :rofl:

[E36M3]

To be fair, you were a cocky ass way before you had any money.

Not that I'm approving of being cocky but his type, I know them, the hedge fund/trader guys are often the cockiest in the industry, not too far ahead of I-bankers so it is understandable why he is the way he is.

Tom is that you? It's George from that other HUGE non-disclosed company name. We met at the billionaires club meeting, remember? How's your private island doing? Still waiting on approval for the personal 12km bridge? It'll really cut down on the travel time what with warming up the chopper.

Let's get together and burn another pile of money sometime this week!

Out of all the rich people I know, its those people who never talk about money. The ones who do OK are the ones gloating that their cheque was high, well compared to what they've made before, it just makes you laugh.

I can totally see where people are coming from on both sides. However, m.alex, I think you need to realize the difference between all these words: class, cocky, gloating and confident.

About the MK3 cobra, excellent choice to build a car yourself, second good choice to go with the cobra. Make one thread about it, and keep updating rather than letting EVERYONE know, some people don't care about older mustangs, others love it. You'll get the mustang friends together and all will be well and no thread like this will have to be made.

Unless you're a prodigy child, being 23 and making millions is hard to believe. If your father has helped you out to get where you are, who cares, you're self sufficient now and no one is looking after you still (I would assume). There is no shame in people helping you. Not everyone gets that chance and are usually jealous and feel you don't deserve it, basically, if I don't get it, why should you. Well that's a fact of life people will have to deal with. It's the same as why some parents refuse to pay for post-secondary while others are more than happy to do it. I know I've definitely had discussions with my parents about what they should have to pay for:D Some feel because they suffered, so should you. While others have suffered and don't want you go to through the same shit.

But to cap this lovely post off, I'll quote a very respectable billionaire

"a very rich person should leave his kids enough to do anything but not enough to do nothing." -Warren Buffett

At the end of the day no one knows who he is, what he does, or what he owns.. perhaps it's all real, perhaps he's trying to get that lawn tractor going because thats all his father will let him drive, maybe he'll use it to plow the driveway this winter for his allowance, who knows..

holy cow what happened here??

computers are a good device for lies...oo ya same with the internet....I tell those Damn MBA students and their smart ass replies...

Its pretty gay that theres a 3 page thread about whether a Beyond member is fake or real, but on some forums, they have threads just where people can call others on on this kinda stuff.

For me personally though, if I was already in the millions, theres a ton of other things I'd be doing besides posting pics of my house and talking about some mustang im building non stop on a internet forum. Usually guys in this kind of industry and making that kind of cash are so wrapped up in their work and spending that dough, that they dont have time to waste showing off to a bunch of kids on a car forum.

M.alex why dont you just come down to a couple of meets with your g35 and your 911. Maybe if people knew you (or saw your cars) they'd read your posts and actually believe some of what you type.

Either way though, your either fake or desparate for attention.

I would agree, but there are a number of people on Beyond, heck even in this thread, that make serious coin.

Go to any BMW, Audi, Porsche, MB forum and there will be plenty of the rich guys you talk about arguing with kids that want to own the same kinds of cars. They show off their shit and gloat about this and that.
