Whale Hunting

Post by Aerosmith »

Salams folks,

With the current economic turmoil how would you go about chasing a target big wheel dealer investor? I have already scouted my prospective investor and tried lots of ways and means to get hold of him to no avail. In all fairness knowing how busy he is and the scumbag envious leeches that surround him, I am even lucky if I do get a five minutes hearing with him.

Any innovative ways, means to get hold of him/her. Perhaps some of you have a model for successfully landing one?

I have so far tried cross-functional ways and teams of experts, from informant college students, exclusive lounge waitress to even a beautiful escort.

How far would you go or how creative should you be in pursuing this target. Is stalking an option? How about doing blue collar job, volunteering at the elite hangouts (golf clubs, tennis courts et al) hoping to get that 5 minutes you need with him. I don’t personally mind going lateral for now and even sweeping the floor if it will buy me that five minutes hearing I need with my target.

In my case and with the benefit of hindsight, it is clear(atleast to me) that the market was a much riskier place few months ago and this particular investor I am targeting was throwing money at stocks with losses or barely any gains. I do have a strategy and a potential alpha plan for him which will also make me a rich man Insha Allah.

All in all my fellow sonmet folks, lets hear your ideas and smart money tactics on how to go about it. Appreciated.

Aerosmith,

Citi is getting hammered, Down $2.00 over 48 hrs.

Now is a great time to be buying up investment properties. Many banks are settling for $0.30 on the dollar at foreclosure. There is financing out there mainly from smaller, conservatively managed regional banks.

Stalking is not an option. The investor who takes the sweepers advise seriously may be accussed of having mental problems. And judging from this

Aerosmith,

I misread your post.

How good is your sales pitch ? Are you trying to invest overseas ? Possibly a government contract ? You might want to find a good local partner or contact who is close to the big whale. Bribe, wine, dine that person and show them incentives to help you out. Let that person do the introductions to the big whale.

MissNalia,

Screw is very touchy and will issue me a board warning if I respond in kind to him.

So like Farrakhan says, "Squash it."

Aerosmith,

I would focus on getting into their inner circle by locating someone who knows them or attending events or things that they have a keen interest in. Sometimes these whales have charity fund raising dinners and you can get a few minutes to chit chat.
