Jack Welch on hedge fund manager David Einhorn

Apple (AAPL) deserves better than the treatment it's getting from David Einhorn.

Look, these guys are after a quick hit. I'd blow him off. I'd give Einhorn the back of my hand.

David Einhorn on income inequality

Ending the jelly-donut monetary policy [sugar high from ZIRP] would do more to alleviate income inequality than any of the widely debated changes in the tax code.  For the super wealthy, zero rates supported by a Bernanke put on the bond market encourage outsize income through leveraged speculation.  For everyone else, zero rates reduce the standard of living because greater food and energy costs soak up income.
