Whalen's been tweeting in anticipation of this joint appearance for a few days. He and Ritholtz are on some kind of exercise kick now, and met in Central Park this morning at 5 am for donuts, coffee and jumping rope. They are both blissfully unaware that every hop is a mini-concussion for the brain, but the donuts and coffee are fine.

Serious athletes always include donuts in their training regimens. Cigarettes too.

Nice Belushi flashback, Cheyenne. I watched SNL religiously as a kid. I remember this skit.

Actually I run a couple of miles a day. Mini concussion is better than a maxi stroke. Don't think Barry is on the program yet. But we do appreciate your kind comments.

A Canadian, two decade veteran of the investment industry shows a dozen ways that investment professionals lie to investment customers and use this misdirection to cheat them out of their rightful investment returns.

Have a look only if you care to see how the typical investment broker, gets richer,.......quicker.

Barry works out with a Samurai sword, as his clinical decapitation of Sorkin-san indicates.

Great piece from Ritholtz. Hadn't seen that. And I had forgotten about the $25 billion in gifted tax-loss carryforward. It pays to be a SIFI.

And what? Whalen actually made an appearance in comments here. I've never seen a comment from you here or at ZH before, Chris. At least under your own name. Hope you're well, and sorry I missed the late Summer bash.
