There are a couple of Gallaudet student's living a lavish lifestyle on campus while studying for their MBA, they hope to open their own brokerage firm on Wall Street, investing in Deaf upstarts with grants from SBA. During their undergrad years, they amass a portfolio over a billion dollars. At first I suspected that they are involved in a pyramid scheme, but that wasn't the case, they started with penny stocks, using their monthly DVR stipends, then into daily tradings. They learned only three worlds while they were at Gallaudet; Buy, Hold, and Sell. This summer they are travelling across the country conducting financial seminars for the Deaf. Students envied them because they stay at the Kellogg Conference Hotel instead of the dormitory, their own room service catered to their needs, and even have a VIP spot in the parking garage. They are so filthy rich that Gallaudet officials serve their whims, expecting a payback when they become philanthropists, I had some doubts as I never seen them leaving a tip at high-class restaurants in Georgetown.
This is Smokey, stay tuned for the next episode of Deaf Anthology. Good night, Deaf America!
