I have just as much contempt for the status quo or the "establishment", a word which reveals my generation, as you do. But your contempt for the status quo does not make Barry a political outsider and change agent simply because he has been marketed as one. JFK was more a change agent...

Bill Simmons a sports columnist for ESPN.com has written there are a lot of guys in the NBA making millions and millions of dollars a year, who are living paycheck to paycheck and I do not believe that is hyperbole. Ed McMahon was on Larry King and said that he went through a lot of money...

The irony here is ripe. Once the United States of America was made up primarily of people who believed both in independence and nationalism which are obviously mutual pursuits. Europe fought WWI trying to come terms with how it would be organized. Post WWII, Europe in good times sought...

AIG is laundering taxpayer monies for the Gubmint, and whether Congress or the MSM is smart enough to grasp that fact, is very doubtful.

Chwissy Dodd, Bwarney Fwank, and Charley Rangel are three of a kind, and it ain't aces. In case you did not know, in a deck of political cards, jokers are a suit, in fact jokers are all four suits.

<cite>“The fact is that the bill the president signed, which protected the AIG bonuses and others, was written behind closed doors by Democratic leaders of the House and Senate,” Iowa Senator Charles Grassley said in a statement.</cite><p>The Democrats parlayed the blame game into both...

Liddy made an interesting argument for paying the bonuses. It was the doomsday argument. If these people were not paid that AIG would blow up and therefore probably the whole financial system would blow up. And you know what, I trust Liddy more than I trust ANY Gubmint official. The guy had...

It was Alice who said that things get curiouser and curiouser. And so goes the ongoing story of Barry in Wonderland. It seems Chwissy Dodd and Barry are falling over themselves to take "responsibility" whatever the hell that means. I know it doesn't mean that they are resigning for for...

I cannot believe I just read an article about a potential bankruptcy in which the phrase "Gubmint bailout" was never mentioned.

These asshole politicians are talking about reinstating the fairness doctrine because the fat slob oxycontin addict has played by the rules at least when it comes to radio and the free market and made himself a rich man amusing people hungry for amusement in a very boring media landscape. I...

I do not want to fix CNBC. I want to UNSUBCRIBE to it. Let it sink or swim in a free market. It is currently subsidized by almost every cable and satellite "subscriber". I would like to UNSUBSCRIBE to CNN, FNC, and MSNBC as well. But in America you must pay for programming that you do not want...

He ain't TALKING, dude. He be writing. And as a writer, he has a substantial body of work, which indicates that when he commits a word to print, it is preceded by a thought, as opposed to you, who just be blowing smoke out your ass.

<cite>Rather it is discussions about what the current situation and what are likely outcomes with a focus on how to invest to minimize risk and maximize return.</cite><p>Evidently, it got nuttin' to do with trading, it only be about investing and "elite". Groucho Marx pretty much said all...

I agree with your statement about power fearing satire. But I am not sure if anyone is really in power at CNBC. Fox News yes, Roger Ailes is in charge, both of FNC and the sinking ship FBC. He is power and he is smart enough to understand satire. Personally, I think CNBC is run by a...

I am not a particular fan of Jon Stewart nor the cable network Comedy Central. The point is the media is by and large incestuous. They go out of their way not to criticize each other. Stewart's point was well taken, his job is to make fart noises not take CNBC to task. But in the...

Gubmint out to tax anything that moves.

A Wall Streeter, a personal injury lawyer, and sex worker go to court. There is three unsympathetic characters going to court. But it is a new millenium and I say the sex worker wins the case.

The US is not a vibrant democracy and it never was. This nation is a republic. And it has become a very, very tired republic at that. The people have always been represented for the most part by low life self-serving money grubbing scum. But Gubmint corruption was ignored because the...

Reckless consumer spending? Sure consumers spent money they did not have and that was reckless. But let us not forget reckless consumer spending was preceded by reckless Gubmint spending. The Gubmint been spending money they did not have for a long, long time. But what is more...

I ain't buying. Your premise is that the brokers usually know the profitable play, and if they had that kind of knowlege, they wouldn't be brokers, would they? Those that can, trade; those that can't are brokers or professional "investment advisors".
