If being the lightning rod that started the Tea Party is what's written on my tombstone, I'll be very happy.
Around 1999, CNBC offered me a full-time post, and I'm the happiest I've ever been.
No, traditions and norms aren't rules in the Constitution. There's a difference between a tradition and a law.
I think hacking's important. Most Americans should worry about it no matter what side of the aisle you're on.
I'm very happy at CNBC. It's the passion, it's the movement - there's a lot of moving parts. And spontaneous TV and spontaneous debates... I don't know that there's anyone that enjoys their job more than I do.
If the country is ever attacked as it was on 9/11, we all respond with a sense of urgency.
Many other states ultimately - they might not have the same balance sheet as Wisconsin - but collective bargaining from the federal level... these are big issues, and these costs need to be put under control.
I come from immigrant grandparents. The country would not be what it is if it wasn't for the immigrants in this country.
I like free markets, but I do like fair markets.
I work hard, and I haven't done badly in life. But I pretty much came from very modest roots... I go home on my train; I cut my own grass... I don't have anything against people that are more elite, but it's just not who I am or what I'm about.
This is America. And we've basically invented the computer, and we should invent ways to protect all those that use it.
Government is promoting bad behavior... Do we really want to subsidize the losers' mortgages? This is America!
Our society, our culture - the greatness of America - goes hand-in-hand with energy, and our leaders need to wake up. We need energy, OK?
If you trade in paper, the notion of many who trade gold - the Ayn Randers - if the financial world comes to an end, they're going to have the gold. If you're playing in ETFs, you're going to have a piece of paper.
Many of us, of course, have children, and I think that the type of country that we are going to leave in our wake by rewarding bad behavior... is not a better handoff to the next generation and generation after that.
One of the greatest technicians of all time was a man named W. D. Gann (1878-1955). He had tremendous success predicting market moves much in advance. Legend has it that he occasionally sent notes to 'The Wall Street Journal', which accurately predicted tops and bottoms in grain markets months ahead of time.
In normal times, investors should pay more attention to the credit markets because it's the energy by which everything is driven. It's the oil in the engine.
I don't believe anyone should ignore all the fires around you and stand pat and not worry about getting singed.
One thing that served me well with clients was that you back your winners and you back your losers.
I try to avoid political ties.
