...essence of my scheme was that I represented to clients and prospective clients who wished to open investment advisory and individual trading accounts with me that I would invest their money in shares of common stock, options and other securities of large well-known corporations, and upon request, would return to them their profits and principal. Those representations were false because for many years up and until I was arrested on December 11, 2008, I never invested those funds in the securities, as I had promised.

...This new policy is misguided and harmful for several reasons. First and foremost, the turn toward protectionism in the labor market mandates that the United States essentially throw away much of its already-sparse annual investment in human capital.

...money, she said she has about $25 million, almost all of which is invested in municipal bonds; she has $885,000 in the stock market (it was closer to $1.3 million before the recent plunge). She's been criticized for not having more in stocks given that that's where she tells others to put their long-term cash, but she said her focus was on security for herself in case her business suddenly dried up and she had to retire. If the market keeps dropping, which she expects, she plans to invest more: "It wouldn't surprise...
