a bank captain, | America’s hirer-in-chief, |
a mutual fund king, | a pro-networker, |
a money manager, | an auto chief, |
a stock cop, | a whirling governor, |
a standard setter, | the Gagapreneur, |
a commodities guru, | an innovator-in-chief, |
a hypnotic metal, | a mega-broker, |
a go-to justice, | the Google guy, |
currency traders, | the transporter, |
an economy accelerator, | the chancellor, |
bond vigilantes, | the money chief, |
retirement plan raters, | the re-constructor, |
boomers and their tactician, | and the bond amassers. |
