re: People who pay for news think they're more important than people who don't really care

I pay $6 a month for a sub to MarketWatch, Barron’s and Wall Street Journal combined. I am under no illusion or delusion that I am better than anyone else. They have articles I enjoy reading and find informative for $0.20 per day. They have a lot more relevant content for me than Yahoo (which I also read, along with TMZ and PageSix). I realize people like you think I am dumb for doing it, but wasting the $0.20 a day it’s worth it to me.

You must work in finance if your co-workers are talking about those topics .I have never heard a co-worker talk about basis points or many of those other terms, but I did not go to a top 10 university.
