I can't help but smile when I hear about how bad hedge fund managers and the high flying wall street brokers are doing in this market. Maybe we can flush out all the bad players.

I feel bad for the average person who invests with them though. Just saw on tv that some professional brokers out of London are calling it quits because of how bad they are doing.

That's why I've always managed my own BT300 mutual fund.

And all of our premium services but one are beating the S&P 500's return of -1.11% for the year. I'm sure we charge much less too!! ;)

It's easy only when he's being fed insider info. He must've had a falling out with his cronies at GS?!?
