I’m seldom right. Except with respect to challenger banks, mainframe not going bye bye, ING stock being big time terrible, spending 4 years learning investing from one of the smartest investment advisors in America, being a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire, getting a 10k reward for helping the FBI solve an armored car heist, running 2 businesses one of which had dealings with the Mafia, and everything else I’ve mentioned here. Some of you are obviously jealous.
