My guess (and my humble opinion) is that he is merely a "prop-poster" paid by the powers that be at ET to put up these ridiculously absurd posts so that it generates web-activity on ET . . . something that Baron can then present to current, as well as potential advertisers.
The funny thing is, that no one even "bites" anymore because they SEE RIGHT THROUGH the absurdity of his posts.
Just wait till next weekend when ET is about to close out the month. You always see a big flurry of "controversial" posts in this Forum right at the end of the month . . . Kind of like a portfolio manager "marking" up things for quarter end.
When I bait, which I do from time to time (right now, I am challenging those who do and don't believe day trading is a statistically likely or even marginally possible way to earn a living), I cite studies, reports and other items that carry some intellectual heft - whether the studies or articles contain flaws, errors or omissions.
I don't make some bare statement, and ridiculous and malicious one at that, and then run away, never to be heard from in that thread again.
That is jficquette's modus operandi, just like it was stock_turder's.
And it's the difference between stimulating intellectual debate and staking and defending a position, and mere trolling.
jficquette never told us a single fact indicating Powell wouldn't have accomplished what he did if he were white.
He just made the bare allegation and ran away....like a little girl.
