Norman Page #10

Synopsis: Norman Oppenheimer is the President of New York based Oppenheimer Strategies. His word-of-mouth business is consulting work largely in American-Israeli business and politics, that focus due to being Jewish. Most of that work is as a fixer: doing work that others don't want to do and with which they don't want to be officially associated. In reality, Norman is a shyster, and not a very good one at that. His office is comprised of his cell phone and whatever is stuffed in his satchel which is usually slung over his shoulder as he wanders the streets.

Wilf, at a series of what now

seem like pretty prescient bets that...

All the way back to the conversation

we've been having

about the possible impeachment

of Israel's Prime Minister.

Now, just when everyone thought

the Prime Minister would get the boot,

Wilf bets the opposite.

He shorts natural gas

and then he magically buys shares

in both Sampton Energy

and the Tel Aviv-based Barkin Group.

Those are the companies

building the Israel-Turkey pipeline.

This deal is starting to look like

the trade of the decade.
