- This Just In: The End of the World
Has Been Indefinitely Postponed. Again.
In the June 2009 issue of this newsletter, I wrote a Client's Corner piece called "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Flu." The occasion was the official raising of the World Health Organization's alert level regarding a new strain of swine flu virus (H1N1) to Phase 5....keep reading

The Day the World Didn't End
The second anniversary of the terrorist atrocities of September 11, 2001 has just passed. Like many New Yorkers (and, I'm told, many other Americans), I found this one considerably more difficult to bear - sadder, in some unfathomable way, than was the first anniversary....keep reading

- "If I Am Not For Myself…"
A commentator on this Mishna suggests that the "I" self is the deepest self -- our personalized facet of the divine image. The "me" is the persona we develop during life -- the manifestation seen by others. This reading argues, I think, that we must carefully tend to our own true self, or no one will pay much real heed to our external self....keep reading
- The Goldman Case
Implications for the Financial Advisor
The drive-by shooting of Goldman Sachs by the SEC on Friday, April 16--and the administration's meretricious prejudging of the case in order to further its own anti-Wall Street initiatives--isn't the most egregious example of liberal fascism we've seen lately. (That distinction belongs to ObamaCare, or more accurately to the outrageous way it became law.)...keep reading
- A New Year's Greeting
This is the first edition of the sixth year in the life of this newsletter. And, as I do each January, I'd like to bring you current on my view of this resource's continuing evolution: what it's become, whom it's for, and what its mission is. Not an apologia, mind you, but a progress report....keep reading

- Tech: A virtuous cycle
Two events - both guaranteed to warm the heart of a grateful recovering technophobe like me - took place virtually simultaneously during the week after the July 4th holiday....keep reading
- Tuition at 40
The senior editor of this resource, a Cameron Crazy of long standing, recently informed me that tuition, room and board at her alma mater would be $40,000 for the coming academic year....keep reading

- One tenth of one percent
What would Mom and Dad have guessed?
The government recently reported that economic activity in 3Q01, as measured by GDP, contracted at an annual rate of four tenths of one percent. That is, in the 90 days through September 30, GDP fell one tenth of a percent. That made me think about my mom and dad....keep reading

- Let Them Go
A bit like an actor who doesn't watch his own movies, I don't read my archive. Each month, I try to say whatever I have to say, and then I move on. For some reason, anything else feels like thumb-sucking....keep reading
- Inflation: The Elephant in the Living Room
On March 6th, the government released data which showed that (a) factory orders declined 5.6% in January, the biggest drop in a month since the tech bust started to get serious in July 2000......keep reading
