That's easy - anyone who enjoys trading stocks and is good at it. It's
an honest living if you play by the rules and the compensation is
right up there with professional athletes and big time
actors/entertainers. What's not to like?

Having to live in a big city?

I suppose you could live in Omaha but only one guy has actually been
able to pull it off.

With high speed internet and decent air service you can work from just
about anywhere unless you want to have lunch on Hanover Square every
day. There's a whole enclave of hedge fund managers working out of
southern Connecticut, mostly Greenwich and Stamford - not much of a
hardship there.

She seems to do more to rev up you guys. I don't know anyone who cares
what she does and the only time I ever hear anything about her is from
you. To the best of my knowledge her main claim to fame these days is
as a Fox commentator
I have CNN on pretty much all day as background noise and they never
mention anything about Palin although they did have a little blurb
about the Bachmann campaign finance thing.


Oh, I enjoy her revving up the morons. It helps ensure Republican
defeats for the White House.

I think, when Greg said 'you guys', he was referring to you guys that get all revved up. Now you're
calling y'all morons?

You need to get a handle on your name-calling.

'Spec Circs?'

Are you kidding??? Do you not remember when she was on the cover of
several magazines, interviewed continuously, seen on every TV every
night, and damned near became the VP of the United States?? And you try
to say that it's the left that gets "revved up"?

You certainly seem to like living in the past.
That was 4 years ago.

The only people I ever hear saying anything about Palin these days is
Harry, you and JP. Maybe you are the real Fox watchers.


I watch Fox and I can't even remember the last time I saw here on there...

In Wasilla Alaska it might not be that important to have a degree.

I imagine Willow thinks about what her mom says every time she has
that English Lit major asking her if she wants to super size her
Whopper combo down at the Wasilla Burger King.

I do understand why the people out in flyover land think democrats are
elitist snobs and why they are not that successful there.

I also find it interesting that Harry, the supposed "friend of the
working man", is maligning hair dressers. Do you talk the same way
when your barber has that razor on your neck?



Please point out where I am maligning hair dressers. The Palin kid
apparently completed a course of education her first time out. It took
her mother five or six colleges before she found one that would grant
her a degree.

Sarah Palin is a glib demagogue, but it doesn't appear that anyone in
that family is even moderately bright.

Your post sounded pretty snarky to me. What was your point?

Krause doesn't know how to not sound snarky.

He really doesn't.. I reached out to him years ago because somebody had
posted his phone number and I wanted to let him know it wasn't me.. Yes,
(just for the record that's why we talked that day) he was a snarky
asshole then too and spent half the time bragging about "that sound"
(racking and dry firing something) and asking me "do you know what that
sound is".. as if I was some kind of rambo wanna be like him.. LOL!
