Focused on Asset Managers

I know Joe Terranova might not be the ideal role model in the investment community, but how about his god damned employers, VRTS?

$14 to $160 without a soul talking about it.

We all gallivant (some gallivant more than others) around town, looking for the next AAPL. But while we juggle pinless hand grenades, the asset managers steadily progress higher. In my opinion, this is a no-brainer, low risk trade, in a bull market. You might be a horrendous stock broker; but there are highly successful people in the field of asset management.

Feel free to suck from their tits (female) and ingest their milk (no cow).

As assets increase in value, fees increase. Moreover, as the market advertises itself by making new highs, more money is tossed into the market, further enhancing the fees our beloved money managers procure.
