Ben Stein Watch: December 28, 2008

The article, while ofcourse taking a potshot at Ben stein, is not off base.

Ben Stein is a product of what has become our financial system over the past two decades:

A place where zero accountability reigns.

Ben Stein is as guilty as the next guy for providing useless, and often wrong commentary and suggestions on stocks, bonds, etc.

However, Ben Stein has atleast taken the right steps by publicly apologizing for many of his wrong suggestions.

Almost every other pundit, either outright denies making wrong statements, or worse, has the nerve to lie about what they said in the first place. Even worse than that (yes there can be even worse) those very same pundits, who helped people lose 40% or more of their money, will eventually be right when things do get better, and yell from the tree tops how they were right all along.

Those are the pundits who truly have no integrity and big brass balls to boot. I can think of many off the top of my head, but why waste any more of your time by listing them here.
