Dixon's Take: Traders Beware, 'News' Ain't What It Used to Be
Authored by: JamesK on Monday, April 29 2013 @ 08:18 AM EDT

There are many people who are so ignorant of reality they believe anything,

whose cousin works...

The world is full of people who are apparently incapable of critical thinking.
