Finding Useful Work for Ron Insana

Hedge fund legend Steven Cohen has a problem: finding useful work for former CNBC anchor and failed money sort-of manager Ron Insana. Jonathan Gasthalter, flack to both SAC Capital Advisor LLC and Insana Capital Partners LLC, has not returned numerous phone calls seeking comment on this and other questions, leading to the inevitable conclusion that Cohen — who seems to have managed to do pretty well so far by largely avoiding anything with the taint of ‘media’ about it — needs help in determining an appropriate role for the new face around Scamford.

And it’s getting urgent; Insana starts in two weeks. So, without further ado, please rally to the cause.

funny. journalists wanting to get rich off the roaring bull market, right at the top of course. before insana it was the "moneyline" idiot from CNN wanting to be a hi-tech guru...just before the tech implosion. we all know what happen to his lofty plans.

my company was bought out just before the tech implosion and a bunch of execs took their millions to start a venture capital firm. it lasted about two years before they finally realized their pockets weren't quite deep enough.

lots of different signs of market tops if you know how to spot them.

Useful Work/Ron Insana? Don't let his agent hear you use those two phrases in the same sentence or he will be out of there faster than a carp through a busted dam.

I guy takes a shot at his own business and you fnd a need to mock him. His timing was off and he was late to the game. So be it, but we should compliment those looking to foster the entrepreneurial spirit. Also, we shouldn't invest with people late to the game.
