It doesn't matter whether your portfolio goes up, down, or stays the same, they get their "management fees" anyway.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg of the ways they screw you.

When they have a whole bunch of other people's money to play with they can pull all kinds of shit. Like use your money to keep the price up on a stock so that they can get their money out before it tanks.

Jeb Bush helped his buddies at Lehmen brothers work that scam with the State Employees pension funds back when he was Governor of Florida.

Now you're just projecting. The only people I see being "rabid" are some of the Berniac contingent around here.

"Joust"? Please take some time off and go out and buy a new keyboard.

Hillary's natural charm.
Did you read that WJC had some choice words for the Black Lives matter group yesterday? I expect some support from African Americans, especially the young, dip a bit and swing to Bernie.

I heard Bill's performance on Muse in the News (KTCK) this morning. He appeared to become pissed and didn't come across well.

You see how Bernie has brought division between us?


I hope I'm not the first one against the wall when the revolution comes....

I can see why 'Big Dog' got a little hot under the collar. One of the BLM protesters had a big orange sign that said, "Hillary is a murderer".

As to that 'Crime bill' back in the '90s, Bernie voted for it.
I wouldn't count on too many of Hillary's African American supporters bailing at this stage of the race.
