  1. Um. You're going to tell us about some bunch of people who are "all as smart as they perceive themselves to be"?

  2.  @seneca983  Yes, Seneca. You got it. Or looking for companies that are lemons. Duh.

  3.  @SwordOfApollo  The interesting point here is that short sellers are looked down on by some people "because they cause crashes and profit from misfortune." Well, they may. They can contribute to price drops. The question we are entitled to ask is, are lower but truer prices a good thing? Is accuracy a good thing? My vote goes to Yes.

  4.  @FutureCommentary1  No, it doesn't (make him smart). It makes him a pretentious parasite and show-off.

  5.  @tHebUm18  Your POTUS doesn't pay taxes. I think he'll leave this vale with his name in the Guinness Book of Records: most prolific beggar of all time.

  6. Zoomer, You're absolutely right. In fact, you're so correct I think I can spot your type. Your employer-matched retirement contribution is set to the max, and your auto insurance covers ev-er-ree-thing, and in depth, but somehow you can afford the premiums because you chose the highest deductible the salesman would let you have, right? Sheesh, it's people like you would be paying for all those marble columns on the insurance company headquarters, except you snuck out and found a genuine mutual or co-op to buy your policy from, din't-cha?

  7. Two real ones, intelligent, honest professionals. A ver-ree unusual moment for YouTube, and a pleasure to see.

  8. Silent G in Modigliani. It simply lengthens the I: moe-dee'-lyaah--ni.

  9. Spoiler Alert: PlainBagel's discussion of passive income scams starts at 11:28. Everything before that is maundering on about the two forms of non-scams, investing and selling. These require a lot of money, a lot of work, or both. They are not scams and they are not passive income. Spoiler of the spoiler: PalinBagel claims that most of these scams consist of selling scams, and this is a lot of work.

  10. All investments are products which somebody is selling. Companies are either selling their own stock, to make life easier for whoever's in charge there, or buing in their stock, for exactly the same reason. No, this doesn't mean that investing in companies whose managment have decided to reduce the amount of stock on the market is automatically a good idea: the market has already priced the prospects.

  11.  @cpm1003  No need to hate his guts. Just pity the loser -- and ask ourselves what we can learn to protect ourselves from his type. He's more than a mere loser: he's also a destroyer of wealth and of worthwhile effort.

  12. @@Anon-ir5nt If you can't spell "concise" you probably don't have the brains to do any of what he suggests.

  13. A good look at how a sane and intelligent person works in this field.

  14. Four billion simoleons -- for the utter stupidity of somebody on staff writing dumb memos! Anybody with a three-digit IQ could have transmitted exactly the same information around the joint just by saying "Here's what we have to comply with from here on out..." Duh!

  15. I don't know what all the damn noise is about. It's just that The Plain Bagel is intelligent and sensible. Sheesh!

  16. A wee bit late: Icahn's stock dropped from apparently flat boring fifties to volatile thirties back in March -- the month before this otherwise sensible video was made.
