Leg the Spread: A Woman's Adventures Inside the Trillion-Dollar Boys' Club of Commodities Trading was a heady, intoxicating rush of a read. It details the author's flirtation with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, more affectionately known as the 'Merc' ("If you don't know who you are, this is an expensive place to find out"). She details technical terms and theories while sharing stories of women and men she met during her two years as a clerk. Most books addressing male-dominated arenas are written by men and focus on men. Lynn reports how it felt to be working there as a woman, and gives several intimate testimonies from women who have worked at the Merc.
"If your position is really going against you, you get to this level where you know you're fucked, then you start to realize you're double-fucked. But you also know everyone else in the pit is fucked, too, so it becomes all about how long you can withstand the pain. How long can you wait it out? Can you wait until everyone else says mercy? Because if you can, then you can rape 'em. That's what Bev does best. When the last Fed number came out, Bev lost $1.4 million in thirty seconds. Everyone panicked, but Bev turned around and let the all have it. She ended up making two million off it all.. She has the highest tolerance of pain I have ever seen. Even when everyone else is puking, she can hold out."

That's us: holding out when everyone else is puking.
Love ya, babe!
Our current malay generation is racist now because they desperately want to hang on to privileges which I frankly believe it slowly causing the malay race to rot away and become a pathetic race on crutches dependent.
I think that malays are the most stupid idiots on earth……….they might have big sized bodies bud in their head, but they have puny brains……….
Thus coming to the conclusion that they are the most stupid black blocks on earth……….they are colored black and stink like a garbage dump……….
Does malays ever think twice about their religious? What if yours believe is not what you think..........
You malays will rape anybody just for sexual pleasure. You didn't read about the malay who raped his own sister?
Not only that! They yell 5 times per day and expect to go to heaven! After committing so many sins like killing, rape, steal!
Malays are so stupid that deserve to be robbed by their own government. They in fact deserve to be raped as well. Maybe we were better of as British rule Malaysia after all.
Malays are jealous of Chinese, that is why they hate them. Americans are not jealous of Chinese, because they don't need tongkat. They buy a lot of Chinese goods. If they hate, they would have boycott the products. Bodoh!
Oh! Bodoh! Only blind man needs tongkat.
If Americans don't hate the malays, why is there so much bad press against Mahathir when he scolded the Americans? You malays are brainless and never read the newspaper. Everyday special rights here and there……….still like your tongkat so much!
You go to American embassy and see which country now is blacklisted? Did they blacklist Singapore, Taiwan?
Even the Japanese look down upon the malays because they are just a bunch of lazy, fool, corrupt person who feed on the Chinese income tax for their existence.
The malays want to produce as many pig babies as they want, but doesn't teach them what is honesty, hard working, civilisation!
The malays are a truly hypocrite bunch of people. All this bullshit about the 'freedom of religion' as only appears to apply to anyone but not the malays!
The malays have made Islam such a hated religion with many man-made laws and impositions, all to suit their own convenience, and yet they claim to be 'Islamic' without even practicing the religion as it was intended to be practiced.
If Malaysia only wants Islam, then get rid of all the other races and live truly as 'Malay'sia, and see the country being destroyed by brainless malays monkeys in a matter of one year!
Why can't all races live in harmony? Why must anything that is related to Islam be such a huge contentious issue?
What the hell is the Syariah Court? These so-called Syariah 'lawyers' are a joke to the legal profession. The travesty of justice in Malaysia regarding converts to Islam especially is demeaning and a pathetic joke.
The Federal Court which is the supreme legal authority in Malaysia is 'impotent' against this useless Syariah Court when it comes to matters dealing with conversion! What absolute rubbish!
The malays are nothing but over-zealous hypocrites who don't even understand Islam in the proper context, let alone profess to practice it!
If malays want to progress in the world, you malays will have to rid the notion of God and your religion. It is your backward religion that is holding you back from every strata.
Look at Muslim countries. They are absolutely backwards in every aspect, living in the most poverty-ridden corners. But when it comes to religion, and building mosques which is half empty always, they build the best ones. Ignoring the poor people who live in shacks.
In Malaysia there is a mosque about every 100km and now they are built along the main streets of all towns. Is it to prove that you malays are so very religious? You malays think that every one has only sex in their mind all the time! This is a fault that undermines humans.
Now you malays have to rid your backward religion and go forward. And you malays must learn to accept that there is no God but dog.
Malaysia will never achieve developed status, certainly not with the malays. At least Mahathir built two tall structures that got the attention of the world, as he knew that the intellectual 'capabilities' of the malays were as good as a cow in the padi field, regardless of any kind of miracle!
Despite all that the Malaysia government has been doing for the malays for ages, the malays are still way behind in terms of everything. They are lazy and have become so accustomed to handouts that they refuse to work to earn an honest living.
It is very sad. Why can't all races compete fairly? Remove all the barriers and ensure free competition based on merit and capability, rather than by race. Will that ever happen?
Everything in Malaysia is a joke when it comes to the malays. They are laughed at by everyone in this world for being incompetent, lazy, useless morons.
I emigrated to the UK from Malaysia as a child after the infamous riots where was 35 years ago and things have not changed much.
It is common to read in the Malaysian tabloids that these uncivilised malay buggers rape their own daughters and perform other disgusting acts.
I have no regrets at all when I surrendered my Malaysian passport and took up British nationality.
My advice to all oversea Chinese is to avoid Malaysia like the plague.
You know something - once outside the perimeters of Malaysia, these malay savages are so small in value even a dog has more value than them!
Yes, a lot of non-malays in Malaysia are leaving this country. But what the hell, they (babiputras) don't care. They are happy that we leave.
I do agree with you of those you mentioned, our country is stepping backward, we are loosing in all aspects and yet overdue and retard ministers are still available on shelf. The ministers think that they are the only ones capable and qualified to be there and not replaceable, otherwise the country could collapse.
Looking at Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq likes looking at this country future. The well-connected bumis are getting richer. This government is spoon feeding the bumis at this nation expense. I am sick of this country too.
My advise is let them rot in their own stew.
The Barisan government has achieved 0% in reversing the trend of racism.
While South Africa has disbanded racism through the government's initiative after the global news onslaught, our Malaysia government leaders are propagating RACISM and FACISM in every way.
According to a recent study through secret agency, Nihon himitsu oruganitsum bureau, shows that malays were descended from the hybrid between boar/hog and baboon, hence explains why they look like baboon and they don't eat pork.
Our latest DNA analysis confirmed the fact.
The Japanese, Europeans etc, all eat pork, so does that mean they are all dirty and only the Arabs and malays are clean?
These malays have no brains to think properly.
The secret agency study also finds that Muslims are more violent, lazy, cunning and barbaric due to the lack of pork in their meals and the wrong doctrine.
They had been misled by Quran for generations which was copied and twisted by Muhammad from Holy Bible just to control his followers so that they don't harm their same species/ancestor (the hybrid between boar/hog and baboon).
It is undeniable that malays are stupid, lazy and incapable. Why don't they just humbly admit the facts and repent and learn from other races especially Chinese?
What is the point to argue here and wasting time again?
From the first onwards we were merely telling the truths. It wasn't us who think that way but their own Pak Lah as well.
All malays should go and read the newspaper, even Pak Lah is ashamed of maintaining the NEP after 34 years of implementing it and these malay baboons are still asking for it.
Even Pak Lah wanted them to compete on a level playing field.
So what does all these tell the world? It sends a very clear message that it is malays themselves who are incapable and lazy and they don't even want to admit it and make a change!
That is the biggest shame of all.
Can't you see, it is all back to square one. Year in, year out, some talk for half an hour, some one, some two. Some sing, many belt out their most recent released 'pantun'.
After all. Malays are good at that. Suggestions after suggestions, some good, some impossible to realize.
But, do you see any of these materialised? Hardly. Why, why and why???
Because the malays can never change. Never! Why?
The leaders forgot or were it they simply didn't want to admit and address that the actual disease is the malays and the remedy itself is also, the malays. They can never change. What is it about the malays?
Firstly as you all know, they are a lazy species. Since the beginning of time they have been like that. Even the encyclopedia called them as lazy people. I think those British with their accent tried to call them 'malas', and if you put 'y' in, it becomes 'malays'.
Embracing Islam make them a worse lot. Now they have a license to kill anything that gets into their way.
Malays are ungrateful lot. In reality, they just can't live or open their minds for others. When Mahathir said that they are complacent, they put him in jail. When Mahathir encouraged them to learn English language, they got angry with him, saying it is a 'bahasa penjajah'.
When other races 'maju', they got angry with them too. That was why at the end of Mahathir his regime, he said this, "I have achieved greatness as a prime minister, but I only fail in one thing, changing the malays."
Well, nothing to be surprised about anyway since Mahathir is not really a malay, and I guess that was why the malays were angry with him.
Drug abuse, hate, incest, liberal extremism (culture of miniskirts and gay marriages), murder, racism, rape, religious fanaticism, parochialism, snatch theft, spoilt-bratty behavior, tribalism, wife abuse, child abuse, all that is associated with the malay race.
To them, malay is the biggest impediment towards building a truly Malaysian nation, and should be chucked into the dustbins of history.
A genetically flawed race cannot be fixed by politically. Nature will take its course and globalization will put them out to pasture.
What have we got now?
Brain drain, economic disparity getting wider, poor education system, racial segregation, widespread corruption, inefficiency and uncompetitive on the government departments and others.
Sad. Sad. Sad. The question asked by many of my fellow Chinese is this - Why can't you just tell the malay peoples to adopt Chinese culture which is superior?
From research, this peninsular was part of the Siamese empire way before these malays from Indonesia invaded it.
Still so thick skin, don't want to go back to Indonesia!
**after much consideration, i've decided not to delete the comments above. while i find them highly offensive and impressively ignorant - i will leave them to your judgment.**
