Ivan Quotations

When I was 15 years old, I read an article about Ivan Boesky, the well-known takeover trader - turned out years later it was all on inside information! But before that came to light, he was very successful, very flamboyant. And I thought, 'This is what I want to do.' So I'm 15 years old, I decide I'm going to Wall Street.

Some assets were impacted for six to nine months from Ivan last year because things like underwater landslides affected pipelines once the storm had passed. Shell is taking the brunt of the storm this time.

I saw Pensacola after Ivan and it was nothing like this, ... This is a disaster, the big one.
