Climateer Line of the Day: Voyeur Edition

I saw this headline yesterday:
25 Master Limited Partnerships for Your Watchlist
and started laughing.
Hard.

Firstly because MLP's are so last year.
Secondly because 25 is a large number of names.
Lastly because of something we posted last August:
...One of my mentors could not stand indecisive traders. He loathed them almost as much as he loathed losses.
If one said about an instrument "I'm watching it" he'd bellow "You like to watch? What are you, a freaking voyeur?" Except he didn't say "freaking".


If you were asked about implementing a certain strategy and said "I'm thinking about it"  the response was "What are you, a freaking philosopher?", again substituting a different word. 
Remember that the next time somebody tells you they have something they want you to watch.
