Sarah Palin’s Income & Investments

Posted by Timothy Sykes on Sun 28th of Sep, 2008 04:31:44 PM

Thanks to Eddy for posting THIS link to a fun 12 page financial disclosure statement for Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin.

If you take the time to click, you’ll learn:

-Sarah makes a cool $125k/year, her husband makes $46k as an oil production operator and he banked another $46k through fishing

-They’ve got a home loan through Wells Fargo

-Her husband pulled in another $20k+ with his Iron Dog Race (at first I thought it was Iron Will-type stuff, sadly, it’s not)

-They’ve got a bunch of ETFs, mutual funds and stocks, none of which are doing very well, the mutual funds are down, on average, 18% this year.

Check it out HERE, it’s a good time waster.

PS I hope this doesn’t lead to a political discussion, I just thought it interesting….but comment away if you must.

    Love it, thanks for posting. Don't you find it odd that Todd earned 46k from June to July by fishing?
  • Amz
    indeed. a good time waster, but it's sunday and im still in my boxers. so it's all good.
  • politics is poo poo but i cant help point out that the investments of congress and bernanke, paulson, bush, their friends are exactly why they are putting a long hard spiky object deep into your anus and not even kissing your neck for it on this absurd bill about to pass.
  • Brandon Fredrickson
    The fishing income is not odd at all. My cousin is a fisherman on the Berring Sea and can make $50K + with 10/15 days of work as crewman on a crab boat.
  • younggunz
    Sounds like they're more like the income of many upper middle class families.

    Not to get too political but I don't see why any successful trader or anyone that busts their ass to make their own living for that matter would vote for Obama or any democrat. Call me greedy but I don't like giving the government more money then I have to. They suck at spending it properly and responsibly.
  • Adam
    im surprised she only makes 125k, but those crab fishing guys can make decent money for the short time they are fishing. its actually one of the world most dangerous jobs.
  • Reaper
    Bob Barr for president! Screw the Republicrats!
  • Getshorty
    One of the world most dangerous jobs? What does he fish? Piranhas using his winner as a bait?
  • OK, not that I've ever though of this before in my life, but if someone told me to imagine what Palin's handwriting looks like, I would've pictured that nice, round, bubbly stuff we see in this very document. Just screams overly sunny disposition and confident ebullience. Wild.
  • ha how big is rev shark's fund? there were close to 1mil shares of SIL available to short, who says not o an easy $1-2 mil in profits on a $3.5-$4 mil investment inside of a week

    That's halibut season.

    This video got me a little pissed off. Congress could have stopped the shit that happened to FNM and FRE except there were too many of them in their pocketbooks.

    where'd my post go?
  • younggunz
    what are youtube links blocked automatically?
  • tom markin
    truth about tim sykes on stockhighlights.blogspot.com and amazing market calls just recorded. audio commentary and newsletters.
  • Hey YoungGunz - I've de-spammed your links - for some reason it is ending up in our spam folder by default.
  • younggunz
    Thanks...good looking out.
  • Bnut
    For sure the fishing income is from the best Red Salmon fishery in the world.....Alaska's Bristol Bay Red Salmon. Incredibly healthy and delicious. Yes I do fish it myself and the income is not out of order, but it was a decent season that year and in other years it is possible to actually lose money, and the work isn't easy. So, eat Wild Alaskan salmon (shameless plug).
  • Keep it up Timay! SEC can only hold on for so long...
