From Barry Ritholz at the Big Picture blog:
"I spoke at a conference recently at a major bulge bracket firm. A friend introduced me to a bond manager who runs an enormous amount of money.
He is not the typical manager. He said one of the most amusing things I’ve ever heard:

-Senior portfolio manager, UBS"


TW: I would add also analogous to a voter who watches Fox News all day and then tries to make an informed decision.
