There’s too much Brittany and Lindsay. It’s not news. These journalists must be pathetic in that they cannot create better news. Leave the gaming for ratings to Dr. Phil… [...] [...] Kudos to Montel for calling Fox & Friends on their gaming for ratings. There’s too much Brittany and Lindsay. It’s not news.

And when you have them, whether you like it or not, you don't take responsibility for your finances. You start expecting them to do things you're better off doing for yourself. I studied for the series 7 and never completed for the same reason. It explained some of the technical language and concepts but that was it.

]]> Comment on Cramer v. Stewart: It’s about Responsibility by piavarma http://creatingalpha.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/responsibility/#comment-10 piavarma Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:10:12 +0000 http://creatingalpha.wordpress.com/?p=63#comment-10 What about Suze Orman? Should I not have followed all of her advice last week?!? These two posts are interesting because more than trading advice they give philosophical advice about not following the crowd or the herd. Ultimately, whatever Cramer tells you he doesn't have to live with the consequences...you do. For some reason people seem to think they can still use the childhood expression "but he did it too!" as a get out of jail free card. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Good job with the blog, Mike. Great articles. Also, don't worry...I'm not an out of work actress. What about Suze Orman? Should I not have followed all of her advice last week?!?
