What makes a man want to amass more money than God, and once he has, keep going? For each hedge-fund manager the answers are a little bit different, and a little bit the same. From today's Bloomberg Markets we believe we have identified the four primary things that motivated Harbinger Capital founder Philip Falcone (or as readers of this blog may know him, Mr. Lisa Falcone), whose fund made $11 billion betting against subprime, to become who he is today.
We begin with a sepia-tinted moment when Falcone first leaves his Minnesota hometown, all gawky of limb and Lionel Richie of hair, to seek his fortune in the big city.
Neil Sheehy, from nearby International Falls, had offered Falcone a ride to Harvard University, which had recruited both of them to play hockey for the Crimson. The car stalled in front of Falcone’s house, and Sheehy had to restart it on a hill while Falcone’s mother and one of his sisters sobbed their goodbyes.
“It’ll be all right, Mrs. Falcone; it’ll be all right,” Sheehy recalls telling Caroline Falcone as the car chugged to life and headed east.
Falcone was one of nine, and his mother still cared that he was leaving home! This is meaningful and leads us to Motivation 1: Phil can never let his mama down.
[To wit, later: "Galloway says he once set up a meeting for Falcone with a billionaire investor who was interested in Harbinger. Falcone said he couldn’t make the meeting because he had to go see his mother."]
Immediately after leaving home, life decided to punk young Philip by showing him that even when you think that things are tough, they can always get worse.
Falcone rode to Cambridge, Massachusetts, with his feet on the dashboard because Sheehy had packed a skate-sharpening machine on the floor of the front seat... Halfway there, the roof liner came loose and showered the young men with fiberglass insulation that stuck to them as they sweated in the late.
Motivation 2: The fuck he's going to go through something like that again. He is going to kick life's ass!
Then, he did not quite fit in at school.
Falcone was wide-eyed when he arrived at Harvard in 1980, says hockey teammate Greg Olson, who’s now a dentist in Minnetonka, Minnesota. “He was a deer in the headlights,” Olson says. After recovering from the initial shock, Falcone made himself something of a campus don. Hockey teammates called him “Fashion Phil” because he cared so much about his clothes, Olson says. He had a blue, three-piece suit that he wore often, and he always wore stylish shoes.
Motivation 3: Show those jerkoffs who called him a hick and a fag who the man is.
But after graduation, he was more confident.
[Wife Lisa] was working as a model when she met Phil Falcone through mutual friends at a Manhattan restaurant in the late 1980s.
Motivation 4: GIRLS!
Of course, a hot wife and incredible financial success doesn't keep the critics at bay. If anything, it just makes them worse.
“Just because a manager got the subprime trade right, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a skilled manager,” says Brad Balter, managing partner of Balter Capital Management LLC, a Boston-based firm that invests in hedge funds for clients. “There have been several funds that benefited from that bet in 2007 whose performance was mediocre before and continues to be mediocre today.”
Motivation 5: Show those jerkoffs who suggest he is a one-hit wonder who the man is. Then show them again. And again. Until he dies.
Falcone Losing Touch Borrowing From Funds While His Investors Denied Cash
After the coffee. Before deciding if Brett Favre should just quit now.
The Skinny: The Jets beat the Vikings. Oh wait, you're not here for that. Universal has a dilemma on its hands and it's apparently no laughing matter. Lions Gate makes a final run at MGM. Blockbuster is on the hunt for a new CEO and the Weinstein Co. has some new money to play with.
Lions Gate wants to play spoiler. Lions Gate is making a last-ditch run at merging with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer after that ailing studio already unveiled its plan for Spyglass Entertainment principals Roger Birnbaum and Gary Barber to run the company. That still needs approval by MGM's lenders, and votes are due Oct. 22. The move by Lions Gate is seen as defensive and an effort to keep Carl Icahn, the activist investor who is waging a hostile takeover effort for the production company. But Icahn has been accumulating debt in MGM and has indicated he would support such a merger. More on the never-ending saga from the Los Angeles Times.
Help wanted. Blockbuster Inc., the video store chain that was once the dominant player in the home entertainment business, will look to hire a new chief executive when it emerges from bankruptcy, which the company filed for a few weeks ago. The Wall Street Journal reports that Blockbuster has hired an executive search firm to find a replacement for Jim Keyes, who may be gone before the end of the year.
Cash infusion. The Weinstein Co., the production company headed by Harvey and Bob Weinstein, got a much-needed investment from billionaire Len Blavatnik. The plan calls for Blavatnik to plunk money into a three-year film fund for a slate of movies with budgets of between $5 million and $20 million. He could end up investing as much as $100 million with the Weinsteins. Per the agreement, the Weinstein Co. will release the films here and in Canada and also control rights in Australia, Germany and France. Blavatnik's U.K.-based production, distribution and foreign sales company, Icon Entertainment, will oversee all other international markets. Details from Deadline Hollywood and the Los Angeles Times.
They can open their own e-mails. The Daily Beast looks at who the most "tech savvy" chief executive is in the media business. As usual, a line said first by Sirius XM chief Mel Karmazin is credited to outgoing NBC chief executive Jeff Zucker about trading analog dollars for digital dimes. Among the findings: Disney boss Bob Iger is savvy and Viacom's Philippe Dauman is not so savvy. No word on how savvy Brett Favre is.
Add them up. With more ways to watch shows whenever and wherever we want, the good news is it is really hard to miss an episode of a program unless you just don't want to see it. The downside is the networks are still primarily getting paid for those people who watch a show on television when it airs in its time period. "There’s a widening gap between ratings and the actual number of people watching," writes Joe Adalian in New York magazine. The TV industry and Nielsen, which measures ratings, need to do a better job of tracking all the viewing that is going on. Just as important, while devices such as the digital video recorder make it easier for consumers watch their favorite shows when they want to, advertisers and networks are wary of ad-skipping. CBS research guru David Poltrack and the rest of the networks are already working on a way to have their cake and eat it too, as the Los Angeles Times notes.
Late to the game? The controversy over a joke from the upcoming Universal Pictures/Ron Howard comedy "The Dilemma," in which Vince Vaughn's character says electric cars are gay (before then explaining he doesn't mean gay in the homosexual sense) is not fading away even after the scene was cut from the trailer and may be yanked from the movie. The Hollywood Reporter says a side story may be whether the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLADD) was a little slow on responding to the issue.
Is your boss on this list? Glass Lewis & Co., a financial advisory firm, has come up with its list of the most overpaid chief executives. On top is Yahoo Chief Executive Carol Bartz, whose 2009 package was valued at almost $40 million. Glass Lewis looks at stock price, operating cash flow and growth in per-share earnings to figure out who it thinks is ripping off shareholders. More on the list from Bloomberg and the New York Post.
Inside the Los Angeles Times: Patrick Goldstein on the controversy surrounding "The Dilemma." Starz Media is selling Film Roman, the animation company whose credits include "The Simpsons" to a group investors that includes Scott Greenberg, a former head of the studio.

What makes a man want to amass more money than God, and once he has, keep going? For each hedge-fund manager the answers are a little bit different, and a little bit the same. From today's Bloomberg Markets we believe we have identified the four primary things that motivated Harbinger Capital founder Philip Falcone (or as readers of this blog may know him, Mr. Lisa Falcone), whose fund made $11 billion betting against subprime, to become who he is today.
We begin with a sepia-tinted moment when Falcone first leaves his Minnesota hometown, all gawky of limb and Lionel Richie of hair, to seek his fortune in the big city.
Neil Sheehy, from nearby International Falls, had offered Falcone a ride to Harvard University, which had recruited both of them to play hockey for the Crimson. The car stalled in front of Falcone’s house, and Sheehy had to restart it on a hill while Falcone’s mother and one of his sisters sobbed their goodbyes.
“It’ll be all right, Mrs. Falcone; it’ll be all right,” Sheehy recalls telling Caroline Falcone as the car chugged to life and headed east.

Millions and millions of people use the internet in there homes and at work and it's not surprising that a lot of people have started a business online to supplement their regular income, or to make a fresh start for themselves. Taking surveys online are one of the new ways that people are making money online.
Have you ever participated in a marketing research survey before? You may have done one when you were out shopping or you may have had a call about it. Companies use surveys to get feedback about their products and services and they make hefty investments on them. When doing this, they arrive at important business decisions related to marketing.
A lot of companies are shifting to the net to do their research, with the rising popularity of the Internet. This is the part where you come in and can make money.
Many companies pay cash to people just for filling out surveys. It actually benefits the companies to because it works out cheaper them. They don't have to pay marketing companies to set up focus groups or telephone surveys. I am sure the question that you are all asking is: Can one really make money filling out online surveys?
There are people that have already made money by posting their opinions on certain survey sites. The fees that you get paid will vary with the company, but some people claim, at least, to have made up to $150 at this job. Mostly, you will get anything between $10 and $75 for each survey. What you will get paid will vary with the length of the survey.
All you have to do to get started, is join a survey network that gives you information about thousands of surveys that are waiting to be completed. A lot do come free, but the drawback is that instead of paying you, most will enter you into a drawing instead.
If you are interested in making some good real money doing this, you should join a membership based network which will charge you around $35 for their help. This fee is only charged one time, and after making the payment, everything that you will make for giving your opinion on these surveys is yours to keep.
There are some networks that offer money back guarantees and there are some that don't. The ones that do offer the money back guarantees are obviously better than the other ones. If you want to quit because you aren't happy with the job, you get your money back. Good bodies offer this scheme, because they know that their service is effectual.
For boosting your income this method is effective. With the investment of a little time and money you can make around $1000 a month.
