Who would you entrust with your capital—Gunther Gebel-Williams or General Custer?

Whereas lawyers don't often put themselves in their kooky wildlife ads, finance honchos seem to relish being portrayed taming beasts. Above, in ads for the CME Group, we have (L-R) Michael Platt, CEO and founder of BlueCrest Capital Management, and Thomas Peterffy, founder of Interactive Brokers Group. You know what guys? I'm just going to go ahead and give a Scottrade rep a call. He may still use an abacus, but at least I know his mind's on my money.

I would have loved to be at that pitch meeting…
"So, we're going to put you on a horse…"
and the dicktard actually went for it.
The "creative" team probably left the meeting like "damn, we should have gone for the 300 lb. trannie"
Derivatives? Yikes! Talk about playing in traffic.
A financial vehicle that is slow, old-fashioned, high-maintenance and constantly takes a shit? Where do I sign up??
(Oh, and I'd give my left ovary to see that lion freak out and swat that asshole's head 30 feet across the room.)
Peterffy's ad is an in-joke.
He lives on a former horse farm in Connecticut, and riding is basically his only hobby.
