Bernie Madoff,
The Lawyers' Friend

When it comes to Madoff
there's a trade-off.

While most investors stew
others sue.

For every Madoff tort
there's a resort in court.

As the public fumes
litigation booms.

Fraud so untoward:
a regal legal reward.

"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today
