Nothing dispels enthusiasm like an admission fee. -- Kin Hubbard
The Talking Head
This vile stock pusher, The Talking Head, so far has been observed
only on cathode-ray tubes from the shoulders up, where his toupee-draped
visage strikes mortal dread into the souls of investors everywhere. Appearing
on various television programs and droning with a voice that approximates
authority, he provokes the movements of vast sums of money in and out of
the markets like so many air molecules passing over his vocal cords. His
pronouncement of "Buy, Sell, or Hold" on a particular issue can incite a
financial riot, and even worse, his tie rarely matches his jacket. Will he
ever be stopped?
