What a result! $1 billion! / Dear reader(s), Gamut Capital is a private equity firm over in New York, founded by Stan Parker and Jordan Zaken - who are a great couple of lads, by all accounts. 'Uh, you don't know that, boss.' Er ... I'm using my imagination, Voice. Please. I mean, they were only aiming for $750 million, but they got $1 billion, so they must be great guys. 'Well ...' Come on! How many times have I told sad stories about firms trying to raise money for their funds? They aim for maybe $800 million, and they get it, but - 'But they never push themselves to go for the billion.' Exactly! Stan and Jordan are different. They've got ambition, drive, balls. You've got to take your hat off to them. 'I don't have a hat.' You know what I mean, Voice. 'Actually, I don't have a head. You know all this, boss. I'm just a disembodied voice. A lost soul from the astral plane.' Ha! Cut the self-pity, you idiot! You have a better life than I do. You float around in a mystical dream world, a life of fucking Riley! Not even the Aviva Investors mob have it as good as you. 'Ha! How's their party going?' I don't know. They're probably totally done in, wasted. It doesn't matter. Forget about them.
