I am in-house and had dinner with a senior exec last night. He asked me if I am happy with my comp and asked how much money I make. I said yes and didn’t give him the exact number, but I have no clue ho I handled that question. Has this happened to anyone else?

That’s really odd and unprofessional in my opinion. If the line of questioning was because he wanted to help you get a raise, he could just send a kudos email to your manager.

That is bizarre. I mean, I’m open with peers about my salary when I think it will help them negotiate their own, but that guy sounds like he had an agenda and that it had nothing to with helping you.

It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
