Equity Page #8

Synopsis: Naomi Bishop is an investment banker determined to overcome a previous stain to her professional reputation, which is a challenge in the male dominated financial sector she works in. As Naomi in that spirit makes her move managing a burgeoning new tech IPO, she has to endure not only the condescension of her colleagues, but also her imperious client even as troubling new developments cloud the venture's future. Against that, the probing of a college friend turned Federal investment law prosecutor and the conniving of her double-dealing boyfriend seem to be manageable complications, until a betrayal by a trusted colleague threatens to ruin everything.

[WHISTLES]

Did you see her?

Heh. Nobody wants to say goodbye.

So, what happens to the rest of us?

Well, apparently

Erin is moving up in the world.

My uncle called me this morning

and asked about you.

He's got some huge deal

coming up.

Wanted to know

if you give 100 percent...

...because he said this thing

would be your whole life.

So I told him you were a pro.

BILL:

Congratulations.

Thank you.

WOMAN:

I'm surprised you called back...

...because you have a reputation

for being a bit unorthodox.

I get the job done.

However I can.

This would be

a big transition for you.

- Yeah.

- Coming over into the corporate world.

The thing is, I have a family and...

I'm looking forward

to having a sense of stability...

...and to really be a...

You know what? No. Um...

[CHUCKLES]

That's not it. Uh...

Vi

The truth is...

...l want to make some money.

I could say something more nuanced...

...about my dreams and aspirations,

but...

...that's the honest truth.

lam so glad...

...that we can sit here as women

and talk about ambition.

But money doesn't have to be

a dirty word.

We can like that too.

WQMAN:

--disappointment initially...

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

MAN:

Finally today...

...tech company Cachet

is back in the spotlight...

...with another surge in share price

this week, as the stock...

...continues to rally

following a disappointing IPO.

WOMAN:
Cachet, whose stock

has been steadily climbing...

...after that terrible debut

earlier this year...

...has by now made a lot

of its investors very wealthy...

...if they were able to hold on

tight during that steep drop.

MAN:
--saw this with Facebook

and Square where a stock rallies...

...and the IPO fades

into the distance...

...as investors track the growth

of the company over time.

What seemed like a disaster

at the initial offering...

...could turn out to be just a speed bump

on the road to enormous gains.
