High on the highway; Higher on the high fliers.

The Summer has been cool, yes. But the Summers had yet to become cooler, "Yes".
So, having been in waiting for coolness of all kinds, life would move on until one day, signs of coolness setting in appear on the horizon ;-)
At CorrectBank there is this young workaholic man who steers clear of all cynicism. Dedicated, is too less a word to even begin to describe him. Always thinking about the markets, portfolios and business, TheLoneWolf had seen him talk little else apart from talking about Bangalore once in a while.
But, on a day when TheLoneWolf seemed good to go, Mr. Portfolio directs a "Baby's day out".
Yes, TheLoneWolf was only a "bachcha" as he would realise on the drive with Mr. Portfolio to a coupla client offices.
Investment strategies, including the famous Value Investing variety, and Mr. Portfolio's experiments with them, make for most of the conversation enroute, and whats especially interesting is that successes and failures alike are equally disclosed :-)
After a visit to a "small" client, who enjoys CorrectBank's and especially Mr. Portfolio's services thanks only to the idea behind "Relationship Banking" (while ignoring Bank's profitability in "servicing" some such customers), it would be time to visit a really wealthy client.

TheCapital has quite a few posh areas, mostly to the South of the city. The Audis, The Mercs, the BMWs, the convertibles, and all other imported variants of auto majors such at the Toyota and the Honda may well be a fair indicator of the wealth that those living inside the huge and tastefully built houses.

Mr. HighFlier, is the client that the baby takes a liking to. Yes, highs on the highway due to stock market strategy discussions soar even higher on meeting with Mr. HighFlier.
Now, Mr. HighFlier, as his name suggests, has reached great heights in life. And that is because there were heights to most things about him. His company had reached great heights by taking people to great heights and bringing them down a few thousand kilometres away.

The man had an Audi among other cars parked outside.. (not sure if there were more within a garage!) and on CorrectBanks other man calling him up, the gate opens due to the press of a button situated naturally in Mr. HighFlier's office room.
Paintings on walls only underline the writing on the wall - that the man is "filthy" rich.

That, he has the choicest of books on philosophy and politics alike in his room cannot possibly overlooked. You cant fail to notice books even if you were to see miniatures of cars and other artifacts around them. Even the Apple I phone can be excused. After all, it is not more expensive than an N series phone.
But, Mr. HighFlier only begins talking of money and oh baby (TheLoneWolf) almost felt his own jaws drop ;-) I guess, hearing such nauseatingly high amounts of money will take getting used to.
Especially because, with someone like Mr. Portfolio around, Objectivity about money becomes the single most important thought in one's mind. And while Mr. Portfolio makes the case for what all can be done with Mr. HighFlier's wealth, listening in rapt attention is the only pleasant thing to do!
Later that evening, TheLoneWolf finds out from his ex-work/work-ex network that a man's real "Aukaath" can be fairly assessed with further observations about his clothes. While cloth brands were a bit hard to observe without being observed while observing, what TheLoneWolf did observe was the Breitling watch. Yes, may be you would argue that Breitlings are anyway worn by high-fliers because they are meant to be. After all, Breitlings were originally designed for navigation and aviation. But, but, but, cigarattes, cannot be ignored after all!
Davidoff, was what Mr. High Flier smoked, and as the ex-work network knew almost everything about Imperial Tobacco (the manufacturer of Davidoff), it is soon known over a coupla email bounces that the Classic variant of Davidoff would cost a minimum of Rs. 500 for a pack of 10.
For once, Mr. Portfolio was wrong after all. He had estimated the pack to cost 5 USD. But then, a non-smoker as a smoker would argue, never really understands the value a smoke has ;-)

The drive back to office would make for equally (if not more!) interesting conversation about among other things, wealth creation and wealth management and wealth creation through wealth management. And then, talking in private about banking is not the same as private banking, but talking in private about private banking to someone like Mr. Portfolio could be the cleanest and most educating of private conversations two men can ever have! ;-)

Every day in a summer may not be as cool ; but then, greed is a virtue only when under control ;-)
