womzillaSince May, I've been working for Vie Securities, Inc. This is a small company, the remnants of a dot-com-like electronic trading firm called (at various points in its life) Optimark and Ashton. Vie has been slowly moving toward profitability, but it has been running at a loss at least since it became Vie.
Well, today was our big announcement: Vie is being bought out by Piper Jaffray. Piper is a major player in the financial management world, so I am finally working for a company with a secure future.
(Technically, the deal is not final until next quarter after a shareholder vote. However, the shareholders are almost certain to approve.)
Yay us!

As the Howling Commandos Would Say
Date: 2004-09-22 02:17 pm (UTC)But as Nick Fury would say: "They made me a colonel, but I'm still a three-striper at heart." Don't let Piper Jaffray turn a wonderful wombat into just another Organization Man.
Three cheers nonetheless!
