15-Second Bio: Hailing from Buffalo, N.Y., Dale Wettlaufer (TMFRalegh) is the Fool's resident curmudgeon. He started out at a small brokerage firm looking over lots of limited partnership memoranda and then became a broker. In 1996 he signed up with the Fools and came to the Old Dominion -- Virginia. Dale is now Senior Analyst with the Fool. Though a generalist, he spends much time paying attention to the financial services industry and especially likes industries and companies that others might find boring. A little known fact: Dale is the founder and chairman of Spillers Anonymous. When asked about this accomplishment, Dale replied, "Oops!" and dumped a can of soda on his keyboard.
