Week 2: Task Results
CURRENCY EXCHANGE
In front of TRUMP TOWER... Hello candidates! Hope you had a relaxing week comparing money rates and exchanging currencies. Even with a low-key work week, somebody needs to go. Let's get down to business again and see who flopped and who rose to the occasion. Team Cosmo won last week but can it win again this week?
Marnie & Edi, I hope you like the Trump Suites for the first week.
Mr. Trump: How did you like exchanging currencies?
Candidates: Good! We think we did extremely well, Mr. Trump. [candidates smiling]
Mr. Trump: Lets find out from our analyst and currency expert. Like before who ever were the top traders become the new Project Manager for both teams. Analyst, how did they execute their trades, gain or loss?
Analyst: Mr. Trump, team Cosmo had several top traders, but some were lucky with the currency they chose. It's all about planning and thinking of the best economy, even if it's your favorite country, it could very well be gloomy for that nation's economy for the past week.
I'm not sure if I would hire any of the top five traders.
Speaking on terms of pure profits, Zeljko dominated, but Simon won over the lead by not trading at the wrong time predicted by the opponent's Project Manager, and Zeljko made a mistake when trading $4000 to cost deduction.
Here is the stats on combined profits and deductions.

Mr. Trump: There you have it, candidates, week two is completed and I witness a change in power and new top 5 traders. Great job candidates!
Zeljko (SiXo) I'm counting on you to be Surplus' new bitchy project manager. Congratulations on your performance for Surplus! Keep Surplus rolling, can I count on you?
Simon (Simon2011), you're the new leading man on the team, go and lead Cosmo's to victory next week. You're exempt from the boardroom for this week. Great job kiddo!

Mr. Trump: Time to condense those bitty pieces of profits. Bill, how did team Surplus do?

$388.39.
Mr. Trump: Congratulations Surplus! 1-1 now for both teams, Surplus members you all can go up and elax in the suites. Your reward is a game of golf with me and my three sons, followed by a nice helicopter tour of the Big Apple.
Team Surplus: [jumped and clapped hands in excitement, rubbed in Cosmo's faces]
Thanks Mr. Trump!
Mr. Trump: Cosmo, cosmo 
, by tomorrow, you will come back to the boardroom where someone will get FIRED!
Team Cosmo: [frowns and tears]
