I have absolutely no respect for anything he says and won't waste my time listening to his ramblings. A purely reactionary pundit with no sense of the future of the economy.

The first few comments suggest he's become "laughing stock". There are so many smart people out there who understood what was going on. I see ZERO reason to listen to people who got it wrong and LAUGHED at the person(s) with an opposing point of view who got it right. This guy is finished.

I'm no Obama disciple but blaming future Dem policy for pathetic stock returns of the last year on the incoming administration is disingenuous and juvenile. Love how he made (in retrospect) a complete fool of himself when he went up against Schiff (see YouTube).
