MARCUS SHRENKER'S FIRST RED FLAG
As you probably know by now, missing money manager Marcus Schrenker was captured alive at a Florida campground last night, with evidence that he slashed his wrists. Schrenker, a private pilot, is accused of ripping off clients, including other pilots.
Here's one red flag which should have given some people pause. Schrenker reportedly claimed to have 10,000 flight hours. That's an awful lot of hours for a guy who is 38 and isn't a full-time pilot. A lot of hours. It reminds me of the unnaturally low and consistent golf scores Bernard Madoff had.

GAS PRICE WATCH '09
