Sam Alito, Financial Whiz - Why his great investment strategy suggests he’ll be a good justice. By Henry Blodget:

To make his investment choices, therefore, Alito has had to ignore what most people around him believe, doubt the spellbinding stories he is being told by supposed experts, and, instead, focus on the facts. This, most of us would agree, is an extremely desirable quality in a judge. (Of course, Alito may have just hired a talented financial adviser, but even this implies an above-average ability to reject perception and act on empirical reality.) Alito also resists the excitement of trading and the violent, emotional swerves of the herd, suggesting he is conservative in a traditional way: He resists change and doesn’t make it for the sake of change.
