Where are they now?: Alumni Spotlight.

Patterson (middle) with fellow smiling Stedsmen- I guess we won that day.

Cole Patterson ’11, Stedsman and “Man of Numbers,” took the time to stop valuating semiconductors to tell me what he’s up to these days. Here’s what Patterson had to say…

 St.Ed: What are you up to these days?

Patterson: I work (live) at an Investment Bank called Credit Suisse. It’s pretty convenient being able to work and sleep in the same building every day of the week.

St.Ed: What’s your investment philosophy?

Patterson: I am a follower of the investment philosophy of buy low, sell high.

St.Ed: Me too! Say, should I be like William Devane on T.V. and buy gold at

every opportunity?

Patterson: Always remember how stupid the average person is, and realize

half of them are stupider than that.

St.Ed: I know that they are a passing thought now, but if you went to the Olympics in Sochi, what event would you most likely attend?

Patterson: Obviously hockey – watching the 2010 Olympic hockey final in the Sted’s lounge was one of my many highlights (ups and downs) during my three years in the dorm. Though I must admit that ice dancing would be a close second.

St.Ed: What advice do you have for your fellow Stedsmen?

        Patterson: You’re literally living in the best dorm in the world – nevertheless, always   

       remember that your time there goes by quickly, so never take it for granted…
