Pud Icon is an irregular event in a Bay Street Starbucks, in Toronto.
Pud (the Polack) sits in a chair and the Pud Iconesses sit round and hope to hear how they can make the leap from BOM to PM just like The Pud claims to have done. What they don’t know is that he is a charade! In reality, the closest he has gotten to being PM is managing his CAD$2K personal account through Schwab utilizing a ‘pure stock picking approach,’ which in reality is a humble attempt at Canadian index tracking with an overlay of bullshit. Pud's real job is junior sandwich artist manager at Bay Street Subway.

The Pud (posting on analystforum.com):
Any of you care to come to a Pud Icon event at Bay Street Starbucks this afternoon? 5 P.M don't be late - and drinks are on you!
Clueless BOM1: Can you tell me if now is the right time to start studying for level 1?
Slightly less Clueless BOM: Yes I can’t wait! You can tell me how to get out of reconciling soft commodity futures and into sales trading of exotic derivatives! It’s about time I made the move as well!!! P.S. Lion are you coming? Pud can tell you how to get out of the middle office totting up rent cheques?
Clueless BOM2: I just graduated college (Ivey league) with a low GPA and a computer science degree. Pud, how do I get into investment management in one of the legendary Bay Street houses? This is what I have always wanted to do!
Hedgezilla: Pud, why do you bother?
N.B. Not to be confusion with Pop Icon, a British TV show.

A Back Office Monkey/ Minion. On an intellectual par with HR workers, this person is either a career B.O.M., or delusionally thinks they have a chance at moving to the front office in one go. Often found studying Level 1 CFA exam in the September to June period year after year.
The new B.O.M. LION thinks he can get a gig on the credit derivatives prop desk, just because he knows how to reconcile a trade!

Look at the sandwich artist Lion. He is boasting about his temp contact in a Real Estate firm after we terminate his temp work here - he has finished the archiving we had him in for.
He is a born and bred B.O.M. like Jagoff When will he wake up?

Lion2004 is a clueless poster on AnalystForum. He has no real world experience which he evidences by his hyperbolic statements, his version of MBA-speak platitudes and non-insights and his personal distain of others who accept what is offered and work at their career on a practical/ results basis. He on the otherhand waits for offers which won't come, overplays his hand and dismisses successful people who show some initial interest. Here, at age 25 and with no work experience, he elucidates what he would have done had he has his time again (note the impracticality of the plan):
