That pretty much describes many sorts of the tawdry, nasty, shallow, greedy people.

Run, don't walk away to maintain your integrity and your share, sir!

MY ADVICE IS TO JUST AVOID THEIVES IN GENERAL ON WALL STREET OR ANYPLACE ELSE.
AND IF YOUR GUT TELLS YOU ,WATCH OUT THIS GUY LOOKS A LITTLE SHADY, BELEIVE YOUR GUT. AND MAKE THE GUY A PIECE OF YOUR HISTORY AND NOT YOUR FUTURE.

Avoid anyone selling you gold or any commodity. Avoid anyone who will not disclose their holdings. Avoid anyone who is difficult to reach. Avoid fund managers. Avoid anyone who encourages you to invest in both bonds and stocks (you are betting against yourself). Do your own research!

Talk about a "worthless" fluff and puff piece. What a waste of clicking on a link.

Thanks. I chose to skip it once I realized it was just more BS from CNBC. I will advise eveyone that JP Morgan has abandonded stock trading because they intend to make stock irrelevant and foist derivatives upon us as the only way left to make any real money. They can't manipulate stock as well as they do derivatives or gather outrageous fees. And concidering that flash crash, that means you are a fool to buy a swap. That's all JP wants to deal in now. Swaps and commodities. So, stocks are always risky, but swaps are where these monsters are taking the economy. Not dissing real insurance, just fake insurance.

Wowieee. As a retired teacher, I am currently smeared as public enemy Number One, even a more dangerous terrorist than al-Qaeda.
And here are 25 guys to avoid. But remember, these guys probably earn more than a month than I see in a year. And they can bribe governors, legislators, congressmen, and judges to give them what they want. I can't even get to keep my measly pension.
I try to build this country with my labor; these guys do everything then can to tear it down.
And these are the guys that are financing the GOP. America, what do you do for brains?????

I agree whole-heartedly with everything you say regarding ones productive labors.
I am just not all together certain that it isn't a scripted theater, whereby the two parties are busy faux-shouting back-n-forth but moving the U.S. in the same corporatist/Wall Street interest related direction...just sayin, is it my lying eyes or what is different?

Don't you get three day weekends for ground hog day and every holiday noone has heard of and three months summer vacation , two weeks for Christmas and a week for Easter ? Don't you make much more than Catholoic school teachers with much better retirement benefits? If you work in Calif and make 70,000 a year in the private sector you will get a pittance in SS when you retire at 67 and eat out of trash cans but you will get $60,000 with cost of living increases plus early retirement plus other benefits such as low mortgage interest etc. if you are a teacher.Most teachers are graduates of very low rated colleges and didn't even do well at these embarrassment colleges . Stop being a piggie and be grateful that you get paid too much , can retire young and not have to sell your house and rent in the ghetto in old age unlike your counterpart in the private sector.

Example of the most most virulent and "ignorant" of the populace. Talk about a canned right wing talking point.

Insulting, to say the least. However Mr.Deranged, your assessment fails due to many things. However, the fact, all Teachers working for Public Schools must be State certified. Which means, they must pass a lengthy exam. And they do pass .So much for your idea that teachers and their education.

So why are you so down on Teachers? You could stand to learn a lot from a teacher.

You comment is straight out of the Conservative handbook for Dummies.

Rule 1A:
most important is to avoid whistle-blowing on crimes of intellectual choice or any number of schemes, made by those who are well-connected, rich and involved in various degrees of corruption, ineptitude and illegality.
