Don’t you have to have a working knowledge of a subject to teach it?
hey, I want to know all about Jeff Macke’s accident.
So Karen finerman is “selling stuff”.
@11- Not in America. You just need to make shit up and keep a straight face.

You forgot that you also have to yell and scream at anyone who questions your expertise, that’s crucial to successful punditry here in the good ol’ US of A
So MSNBC and CNBC are the only ones reporting about the breach of DC airspace. Wonder if this will prompt them to forego releasing the bank info today?
