Selling. It's how you make money. To understate the importance of the sell-side is impossible. In fact, I'd say we're more important than the buy-side. Selling something we haven't bought and do not actually own is standard practice. But buying something you can’t sell? That's just shoddy due diligence, whoever's role that is...

Having suffered from the diagnosis of fratres financius for over a year now, I can tell you that my life now fully revolves around money. So trust me when I say that I will sell hard. I will sell anything and everything we got, for prices that would make you wonder if hyperinflation has secretly kicked in and you're just the last to hear about it.

Some may say that I have no idea what I'm talking about. But remember: when you Excel, people spreadsheet about you – such is the essence of corporate relations. It's a cut-throat world out there and I'm willing to stick my neck out for the monetary benefit of this society.

Now I suppose the true test here is whether I have successfully sold myself. Not to the devil – that's easy (though the ROI is a little shabby) – but to you, my dear voter. So if the deal's been sealed, I propose we circle back, touch base, leverage our synergies and cast our votes for the candidate (psst... that's me) that will keep Investment Society tethered to reality.
