Ken Fisher: What a Loser

[TheVictors]

So if you're not in Finance, you may have seen the commercials but not much else about Ken Fisher.


The Washington-based Fund Manager uses 'direct to consumer' TV ads a lot on the cable networks and then last week while speaking at the Tiburon CEO conference, he likened earning a client't trust to "getting into a woman's pants."


Clearly since this is 2019 and not 1979 the remarks did not go over well and after denying they were offensive, Ken issues an official apology.


I've known folks who worked at Fisher and describe him as a scumbag and cheap. More objectively speaking, the performance of his investment strategies also suck. Now he's paying the price for being a boorish ass like the fuckwad in DC.

I saw this story yesterday (freep reported the State of Michigan pulled their funds from his account).

But how dare you attack a self-made genius of finance like this. his success means he is beyond reproach from everyone poorer than him.

They obviously don't make as good decisions as he does anyway. We know he makes good decisions because he has so much money.

Actually, he said "girl's," not "woman's," according to the link. Concupiscence knows no income bracket. Dreadful thing to think of, let alone say out loud.

correct. I was going off memory and used "woman" when the actual quote is even creepier ...


and you'd have to think that what with happened in East Lansing - the systemic abuse and cover-up, that THEE State of Michigan might be a bit more sensitive towards situations like this.


and not surprising Fisher is a big Trump guy and uses his platform to politic ...not surprising he went on Fox to air his apology. Also not surprising this guy finds it challenging to charm the ladies. what an ugly motherfucker..

sadly, this is the best you can do. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again, you are one pathetic loser. While we're on the subject, since you're the self proclaimed expert on how much money everyone should have, who was responsible for giving this guy billions, since as you say, he obviously didn't earn it? I'm curious because I'd like to replicate this strategy where you don't work hard but suddenly become a billionaire. Sounds like a pretty good gig. And if you don't have to earn your billions, how come you're just an unaccomplished, dime a dozen corporate lawyer? Why don't you not work hard, become a billionaire then give it all to the government? Problem solved, everyone wins.

He had to become a rich, creepy finance guy, because there was no way he was getting any without paying for it.

Can’t associate a man’s political affiliation with his corresponding objectification of women. Bill Clinton isn’t a serial sexual predator because he’s a Democrat. This guy is not an ignorant luster of woman because he’s a Trump supporter.

Good thing no one did that!

In fact, Champ, the racially transitioning one, Not White Vic, kinda did.

you should try to make a habit of reading more than just headlines and a sentence or two of things you comment on, especially if you are the person posting the material (i know that's not the case here bu based on your loose relationship with truth and facts, I thought it worth mentioning). It couldn't hurt to fact check something every now and then as well.
