Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Proudly Reveals What A Real Jerk He Is.

Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoons, wrote a piece for the Wall Street Journal not long ago. In it, he postulates that, among other things, you should buy BP stock, not exactly because of the Gulf Spill, but because right now everybody hates BP, their stock is in the toilet and sooner or later they'll bounce back and you'll get rich. Basically, the strategy is buy the companies you hate because you hate them for one of two reasons- they have products that everyone wants (like the cult-like Apple corporation) or they're doing something you despise because they're rich and ruthless and just going through a bad patch right now, but as everyone knows, the rich ruthless guys usually win. Sound strategy, but that doesn't mean Mr. Adams is any less of a slimy little creep for doing it.
