Discutie despre traderi.
"He told me he was a big swinging dick. I thought he was going to show it to me for a moment."
Wikipedia: Big Swinging Dick — A big-time trader or salesman. ("If he could make millions of dollars come out of those phones, he became that most revered of all species: a Big Swinging Dick." p.34) The opposite of this term is Geek, used to describe a just-hired trainee.
Nu stiu care ar fi traducerea cea mai buna in romana.

: cred ca e "de" bascula :) , din cate stiu inseamna altceva, are o conotatie "grozaveala", pe cand "dick-ul" cu pricina chiar da rezultatele scontate, s-ar putea sa ma insel insa

1. big swinging dick 47 up, 7 down
1. the financial industry's term for a rainmaker; a Wall Street executive who brings in enormous amounts of money for the firm, possibly because he has just screwed a customer.
din acelasi glosar online pe care il recomand calduros pentru argou
1. rainmaker 77 up, 50 down
An employee who creates a significant amount of new business to a company. This term is often used in the context of a financial services company, such as a brokerage.
Nu este "big time trader" ci un tip care da rezultate spectaculoase in domeniul vanzarilo prin mijloace nu tocmai ortodoxe :):):)
Va rog sa precizati daca doriti sa pastrati trivialitatea originalului sau doriti s-o moderati nitel
E important
In contextul financiar in care ati incadrat termenul , expresia " mare scula" e cu totul nepotrivita :) daca insa doriti "savoarea" originala .... :)

: Nu e vorba de "pastrarea savorii originale", ci de faptul ca urmatoarea fraza spune"i thought he was going to show it to me for a moment"

Geek- este copy/paste din wikipedia, am precizat la inceput. Din ce am citit ulterior, geek la Salomon Brothers, unde se vehicula si expresia big swinging dick, insemna "the lowest form of life on the trading floor". Geek era etapa dintre trainee si trader.
Va multumesc pentru sugestii, mi-au prins foarte bine.
"Imi spuse ca e un rechin, mare specialist in manevre financiare. Pentru moment am crezut ca o sa-mi faca o mica demonstratie."
Si pentru precizare poate ar fi bine sa afisati in caseta "Clarification request(s) and response" ca sa sara in ochi

Traducerea mea trebuie sa fie una moderata, oricum n-as putea folosi "scula". Rechinul si invartelile/manevrele sunt idei foarte bune.
Multumesc.:)
mie mi se pare bun, expresia descrie o persoana care are foarte mult succes in domeniul vanzarilor si da si tonul printre pestii mai mici
Chestia cu "scula" mi se pare total mepotrivita :) Chestie de gust :) In limba romana suna de 10 ori mai trivial decat in engleza unde Dick are cele doua sensuri - si cel de Tom, Dick and Harry ( sau John Hancock si Regular Joe) si cel de "scula" ( pardon) si gradul de trivialitate e moderat de aceasta facultate a sa :)

Nu stiu exact cum decurg lucrurile, dar simt ca ar trebui ceva in plus pe langa sensul de mare scula, pentru ca "they trade and everyone follows"...
