Giuliani Is A Trader

A six page Forbes magazine article (November 13, 2006) titled �The Company He Keeps,� related Rudy Giuliani�s various business endeavors as the head of Giuliani Partners. It noted that he mixes with the nation�s most prestigious people, and is anticipating a run for president of the United States in 2008.

It also reported that his company has accepted fees from several companies in the form of publicly-traded stock (including several OTC bulletin board companies) for his firm�s services.

Several people with great name recognition (Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Colin Powell and others) who left public office for the private sector, also traded their services for equity in companies they advised. In each case, what they derived from bartering in the private sector was much greater than when working as a public servant.
