Bud Burrell is totally nuts, a gross exaggerator and a liar. In that interview alone, he made false statement after false statement. Here are just a couple of examples: "The dollar is down over 50% in 4 years". (The dollar is down less than 50% in 9 years. Another one. "I worked for Dean Witter which was bought out by Shearson. I was then working at Shearson... I left Shearson in 1987". (Dean Witter was merged with Morgan Stanley in 1997 and was never connected to Shearson.)
Bud is right about a few things, but then extrapolates the few things he is right about into one crazy claim after another. The guy is a fraud and he talks out of his proberbial a**.
We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth... For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it. --Patrick Henry, Patriot and Hero of the American Revolution
