TGFD dead at 61. He suffered a massive cerebral enema but did not suffer.
He leaves behind all his friends on DB who welcomed him in to the fold with open arms.
He will be missed.

What's that "Sir" in Allen Stanford's name?
Isn't that supposed to be an address for a person who is noble as in G.Britain?

To be fair, how about Sir Bernie Madoff?

SEG are you out there?
What do you make of this market?
Words of wisdom - any at all?

@3- "Stanford was the first American to be knighted by that Commonwealth nation[6] and was presented with the honor by the then Governor-General of Antigua and Barbuda, Sir James Carlisle."
hence, the sir.

So you weasels actually stopped the Obama portfolio update when it hit 25% increase in about two months??
And you would have stopped doing it if it was down by 25% in two months, right?
Right?

@9- why don't you email your complaint directly to EP?
Posted by guest , May 04, 2009 10:20PM
@9 Who cares, everyone already knows that EP's an Ayn Rand wannabe. The one thing you can say about her mindless orthodoxy is that it's amusing, which is the only reason the real talent here (Bess & Lat) keep her around.

Take it easy 9, just giggle to yourself while you can.

what is the "Obama portfolio"? Did the president actually give out stock advice? Wow, that must be why the folks at CNBC were giddy on Friday and today. Sorry I missed that could have sued the extra money.

EP adds some intellectual heft, however right or wrong she might be.
Posted by guest , May 04, 2009 11:39PM
Leave EP alone. Its Michelle Obama and her kitten killing vagina's fault.

@14 There are few things more correct and less acknowledged than that.
@15 Never mind that 14, I found something truer.

@14
Agree. It's amazing how much that intellectual heft added by EP attracts freeper morons who would incoherently agree with her.
