I shook her hand and thanked her for the koran vid she made.

There aren't a lot of people in the world I would be terribly interested in meeting, but she would be on my short list.

Barnhardt is backed up by Karl Denninger at Market-Ticker.com . . . .

LOL at this thread. "I value this woman's investment advice because I agree with what she wrote about the Koran." Looks even more like she is the poster-child for confirmation bias.

The two of you are acting as if you got clowned on a Ron Paul thread. In any case, you should at least consider the possibilty that this is a publicity stunt before you become so emotionally invested (pun intended).

Barnhardt is backed up by Karl Denninger at Market-Ticker.com; the whole futures and options market sector is imploding because of the MF Global collapse changing all the rules about customer funds being untouchable.

Unethical firms stole customer funds many times over the last 100 years and the markets are still here. This had nothing to do with the CME, this was crooks at MF Global.

She was an IB, not a hedge fund.

I’ve got better things to waste my time on than Ron Paul threads.

I’m having a hard time envisioning a scenario in which “I’m shutting-down until The Won is out of office” is a practical publicity stunt.

Maybe you could enlighten me.

I doubt that I can, but I'll try. I posted a paper written by a lower-level economist at the Fed (Kansas City, maybe) that, among its other contentions, observed that people were "self-selecting" the economics blogs they were reading based on pre-conceived ideas regarding where specific indicators were headed. A whole bunch of bozos descended on the thread (after only reading the headline, no doubt), calling him an egghead, elitist, part of the problem, whatever. (Well, he was an egghead, but not in the way those bozos thought).

Here, you have an egghead elitist (their terms, not mine) getting a pass because people agree with her politics. If that is not "self-selecting," nothing is.

The larger question is--if you agree with her folding the tent in the financial field, based on her political/cultural observations regarding matters unrelated to finance or economics, then you have a serious problem.

In her own words: “I am an old-school commercial hedge broker specializing in CATTLE and GRAIN. Farmers, ranchers, etc. Actual hedging of actual cattle and grain using futures and options. Very old-school original. “

Not quite sure what that means, but it sounds to me like commodities-broker of some sort.

Yes, an IB, introducing broker, is involved with commodities.

I am an old-school commercial hedge broker

She helps farmers and ranchers hedge (reduce) their risk. Very different than running a hedge fund.

No, I agree with her folding the tent in the financial field because I concur with her observation that the financial markets have become totally fraudulent rigged casinos.

The fact that she bookmarked a Koran with bacon is just a bonus.

Fair enough. You, for one, appear to have thought it through . . . .

You wouldn’t be that great of a loss, seeing that you are not reading the thread in the first place.

Sarah is a Grizzly, Ann is a Tsunami or a Fire Breathing Dragon.
