Jon Stewart Gets It, Boycott CNBC

Jump to Comments

CNBC’s Laughable Financial Advice

Jon Stewart finally jumps on the anti-CNBC bandwagon and makes terrific sport of it. His observations aptly summarize the years of “yucking it up” that I and my “real money trading” colleagues have experienced. When it comes to investing, the first assets you acquire should include:

1) 8lb sledge hammer (for killing TVs and radios)

2) 32 oz. Kingsford lighter fluid (see asset #2)  

3) box of strike-anywhere matches, (for burning “get rich quick” trading/investing books, fliers, etc.)

Only #1 is re-usable, but the success you achieve by avoiding the mistakes you originally bought will help your performance in the long run.

Diane Garnick suggested that I link to this tasty little morsel:

Here are two guesses as to her motive:

1) She wants Dylan Ratikan’s job. (Look her up - not too hard on the eyes and has enough experience to ask intelligent questions.)

2. She’s a really big fan and reads my blog religiously. (yeah, the first guess is best)

    Dude FYI- I just used Google search and looked for "tick talk" and you were the second result from the top. NOTHING like a 2 man gang.
