...he would go after "Wall Street" if he won? After all, he would want all his accounts and funds to grow.

mostly civics free young 'uns.

Many people have investments on Wall Street. He never said Wall Street shouldn't invest, he said they shouldn't take unneeded risk and bring the entire house down on our heads. Thanks for posting that anyway, his investments barely top $100,000. I get more impressed with the guy the more I find out about him. All those years in congress and he never sold out. Just incredible.

you were considered a SUPER NEWBIE. Tone it down please and direct the poster to where they should be posting. . If they are a troll, they will out themselves

His very first post on this board was in this group?

Obama get things done. BS not so much.. he just talks a lot and accuses others when he's not as pure as he'd like us to think. Don't be a hypocrite berni.

Yet half his investments are in Wall Street. Kinda hypocritical, don't you think?

And that's on top of the VERY generous Congressional pension he has coming to him.

And he won't even list all the properties he owns. The rest he hides in his wife's name. http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/bernie-sanders-wife-accounts-for-reported-assets-120261

It's all to create this false narrative that he's a proletariat like you, when in fact he is a millionaire -- part of the very class he rails against. Kinda hard for him to say you can't trust Hillary because she's a millionaire when he himself is a millionaire.

that you made this your very first post?

I think what impressed you was your paycheck.

Man, the string must be running out for Team Slanders, they can't even keep up the quality of their hires anymore.

Now it seems that people are starting to realize that he's not the idealist he claims to be - just another opportunist relying on Wall Street to make money for him.

for yourself! Great that you knew what was up earlier! GOOD BEE-ESS Read!!!

Glad this is FINALLY coming out!

But the fact he needs a demon indicates a capacity for demagoguery I find unacceptable.

And now I see that my feeling kinda was correct! Makes sense! Wall Street!
Wondering how much he wants that pre-NY debate now!?
I am a NY voter, so NOT appreciating this at all!

TRUST ONLY HER!

in 2014 was up 216.38%. Revenues for the same period were down 9.88%. Total executive compensation: $15.9million compared to previous period of $5.03 million

Their strategy for investors is expansion of land acquisition and drilling:

Grow Production and Reserves by developing our oil-rich resource base. We intend to actively drill and develop our acreage base in an effort to maximize its value and resource potential. Through the conversion of our undeveloped reserves to developed reserves, we will seek to increase our production, reserves and cash flow while generating favorable returns on invested capital.

Focus on Increasing Hydrocarbon Recovery through horizontal drilling and increased well density. We believe there are opportunities to target various intervals in the Wolfberry play with horizontal wells. [THAT'S FRACKING] Our horizontal drilling program is designed to further capture the upside potential that may exist on our properties. We also believe our horizontal drilling program may significantly increase our recoveries per section as compared to drilling vertical wells alone.

Really he gotta release those full returns! Why is he so special! What about transparency from the pure one!

Bernie's investments are in good hands:

Steve West is Diamondback's Chairman of the Board. Windsor Permian is a subsidiary of Diamondback Energy Inc.

http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=113868520

[blockquote/]
Windsor Permian is a big corporation. How do we judge them? How do we figure out how they are going to treat our community? Who is the "responsible adult" in charge? Do they care about our environment?

So what kind of company is the parent company, Windsor Energy? Let's look at the Chief Executive Officer.

According to the Windsor Energy Web site, Steve West is the CEO of Windsor Energy INC. As of May 11th 2011 Business Week reported his age as 50 years old. According to Business Week Mr West has at least three other jobs with related companies. He seems like a banking kind of guy. In the past he worked at a number of banks including Lehman Brothers and he was the treasurer for IndyMac (failed July 11th 2008) Bank. I'm not saying anyone should hate this guy or these companies. I am only saying Look at who we are dealing with. They don't want to be our neighbor, they want their "opportunistic investing" to be our neighbor.


Turns out Windsor Energy Corporation is owned by Wexford Capital which is a hedge fund that focus's on energy. According to Seekingalpha.com Wexford Capital manages 7 billion dollars in assets. The Wexford web site says they specialize in "opportunistic investing"

In essence we have a 7 billion dollar hedge fund protected by at least two layers of limited liability corporations telling us they are going to take good care of the land and follow the rules. The guy in charge is a banker who used to work for Lehman Brothers.

Lehman Brothers was the beginning of our mortgage crisis. Wikepedia says the federal government put 138 billion dollars into the Lehman Brothers situation. West was also the treasurer for IndyMac Bank which wikipedia says was the 7th largest loan originator in America and failed on July 11th of 2008.

These are the kind of folks who are saying to us, "trust us, we are just a little sand mining operation", "trust us, we will follow the rules". Who is going to bail us out if this company makes a mess out of our environment?
