“For the past four years, the Clintons have jetted around on Vinod Gupta’s corporate plane, to Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico — $900,000 worth of travel. The former president secured a $3.3 million consulting deal with Gupta’s technology firm,” [according to the *Washington Post*](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/25/AR2007052502332.html).

The hot tip? Short the stock of any technology firm that values Bill Clinton’s advice at $3.3 million.
