Zitat des Tages von Rick Santelli:
There's so much compromise in politics. I'm not a good compromiser.
I have a daughter for a while that didn't have insurance. She gets a different price than people who have insurance.
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.
Challenging leaders is as American as it gets.
When I was an institutional broker in a former life, I was a believer in the merits of using technical analysis. I found that it was a very useful tool that complemented the much more mainstream tools generically referred to as fundamental analysis.
At the end of the day, the markets are my passion.
How many muni areas have actually defaulted, by the way? Just a question.
Look at the Weimar Republic and their hyperinflation in the early '20s. It didn't happen overnight. I've used the analogy, it's a lot like soybeans: you plant 'em, you wait. Conditions take some time. You need some sun; you need some water, but ultimately things start to grow, and are we in that phase or not?
What about stocks? You got to buy them. What if they break? You have to buy the dips.
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.
The unique thing about our country is that we don't get behind politicians, politicians get behind us.
Working with Russia, we worked with Iran. Are they our friends? You have to take each situation uniquely.
If being the lightning rod that started the Tea Party is what's written on my tombstone, I'll be very happy.
I think many agree, being on the plan till 26, good idea; preexisting conditions, they all have a cost. So you have to find a way to pay for it. But it doesn't mean that you're going to keep or change. Listen, cars have tires. You can reinvent the car, but it's still going to have tires. Those aspects are components of healthcare.
I think hacking's important. Most Americans should worry about it no matter what side of the aisle you're on.
I try to avoid political ties.
When you are facing the wilderness on your own, you have a totally different attitude to someone who works in government or who has a monthly cheque.
You need more people to perpetuate a myth because if the people stop the myth is known to all.
We cannot collect enough taxes to catch up with spending. Do I know a solution? Not really. Do your politicians know a solution? Does our commander-in-chief offer a solution? Absolutely not.
Let me see the 'Cuban missiles on the island' picture. Trump needs to see it before networks need to see it.
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 the country is ever attacked as it was on 9/11, we all respond with a sense of urgency.
I don't believe anyone should ignore all the fires around you and stand pat and not worry about getting singed.
The government is promoting bad behavior.
If you read our Founding Fathers, people like Benjamin Franklin and Jefferson - what we're doing now in this country is making them roll over in their graves.
One thing that served me well with clients was that you back your winners and you back your losers.
All the way back to 2010, the takeover of Congress, there is an unnerved part of the public that understands the history of Hillary Clinton. We've seen her for decades. They understand Donald Trump. There's no disclosure needed there. The sour grapes that we are experiencing isn't going to make a better tasting wine for the Democrats in the future.
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.
I'm pretty darn happy with my day job.
The jobs outlook in the U.S. isn't very good. And it's really about young people.
We have mountain of debt that isn't going away and all the problems are here to stay, and anybody who tells you that is a good thing ought to get out of the business of helping the government down the road.
Think Apple, think the FBI. We are living 'Atlas Shrugged.' Why is it so important? Because I would hate for the country to have that rhetorical question: Where is John Galt, who is John Galt? John Galt is all of us.
A republic and a democracy are pretty much identical, pretty much on every level.
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 come from immigrant grandparents. The country would not be what it is if it wasn't for the immigrants in this country.
