The Merrill Lynch Diet: Starving Shareholders

As a successful investor for over 25 years, I have been constantly been assaulted by so-called "financial planners" and other stock salesmen from brokerages and banks to turn over the management of my money and holdings to the bozos who, we now know, are responsible for these egregious and outrageous acts of corporate thievery and incompetence.

My Mama, who lived through the Great Depression, always told me that "a fool and his money are soon parted" so I was at least wise enough to resist them but the thing that angered me the most of all was the arrogance and sullenness of their assertions!

The Failure of John Thain

.....and we are constantly told that these obscenely overpaid CEOs and their ilk with their grotesque salaries, bonuses and perks are "worth every penny."

In China such bungling incompetence would be rewarded by being shot!
