Lesser of the evils who have a realistic chance

Actually, Noam Chomsky isn't anything

I don't like him. Paul is being "branded" as the true Republican outsider, as Ross Perot was. But, he has serious flaws, and doesn't have a serious chance with the institutions (r and d) in control. My thought is that Mitt Romney is the Lessest of all the evils (although he is completely...

Ron Paul is a psuedo Noam Chomksky. I'm not buying into this at all, and so shouldn't you: FROM A VERY SMART PERSON "Ron Paul is a Christian Libertarian. He is running as a Republican, but in 1988 he ran as the Libertarian Party candidate. He is a rabid anti-abortionist, and headed...

Can you elaborate a bit as to what caliber of IB this sales job is for? It's a good job because it's pretty niche. And like all sales jobs, there are booms and busts, but if you can close a deal, then good things are coming.

Like real estate, a share of common stock, Snickers, and golfing, Facebook is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, period!

This has been discussed before, but anyone have any colour as to what designation is most valuable for portfolio management and trading?
