Creative Job Seeker in Union Square

I often see people begging for money in New York. Today I saw a guy with a handwritten sign on a street corner outside The Coffee Shop in Union Square. He wasn't asking for money, he was asking for a job as a director/actor/filmmaker. Now this is what I call marketing.

Thomas O'Connor from Colorado came to New York in search of a place to put his creative talents to work. Currently staying with friends in Jersey City, he has taken a novel approach to job hunting. He is holding a handwritten sign on a street corner. When asked how it's been going he replied, "I got some business cards yesterday and need to make some calls." Sadly, he doesn't write about stocks or investing or he'd be writing a blog for The Panelist right now, though he is web savvy enough to have his own web page and a Myspace page promoting himself (We, at The Panelist, don't even have our own MySpace page yet).

Tom, I may not have a job for you but I hope this little promotion helped.

Disclosure: The Panelist has not yet moved into film but we're thinking about it. The Panelist is not a job site but if you're interested in writing for us, we are always looking for financially oriented bloggers.

Disclosures: The owner of MySpace is Newscorp (NWS -$23.71). I do not currently own Newscorp. I would not buy the stock at these prices but would become interested if it fell a bit.

I know Tom and he is an amazing artist/entrepreneur/writer/film maker/director. He's also the only person I have ever known who can live without money. Zilch. Whoever hires Tom will never ever regret it. Give that man a job New York!

I got here from the Seeking Alpha site where you mentioned the UltraShort ETF's. If you put $30,000 of a $100,000 portfolio into SDS as a hedge, you're tying up $30,000 that could be earning about 5% interest, or about $1,500 if the hedge stays on for a year. My question is are the Short ETF's set up to recapture that lost interest and is that recaptured interest incorporated into the share price. In other words are the $30,000 SDS shares worth about $1500 more at the end of a year, or does the investor lose the interest on the money totally?

Rod. I think you meant to comment on Thomas Chetworth's article here: http://thepanelist.com/Neubert's_Trades/Neuberts_Trades/_20070620408/

I'm sure he'd be happy to respond.
