Wall Street Breakfast: Must-Know News

user155010.. and other folks who think Jim Rodgers is great?
He has called for Frannie & Freddy to fail-uh should fail.., complaining that everyone has committed theft, fraud,etc. When ask by the interviewer if he was short these stocks he said of course. He stated yes he was making money being short but who cared if he was making money?? After all he said, "I have to pay taxes on it".. right!!
He spends his TV time bad mouthing the stocks so he can make his money short..a nice ethical guy.
just my view..
