[quote=afx114]danthedart, I reject your premise that being a comedian disqualifies you from being taken seriously. Example: George Carlin. He had brilliant shit to say on a lot of issues.

Just because someone is a comedian doesn’t disqualify them from having good insight. Sure he might be biased, but Stewart has a lot more insight that the previously mentioned “news” people.[/quote]
Do you turn to George Carlin for investment advice?

I believe people actually take cnbc seriously with regard to money.

Carlin is incisive and entertaining but no it is not the same thing.
