so long; fare well

by deborah newell tornello
aka litbrit

dear ezra...

i cannot let evenin close without thankin u 4 ur support n wishin u every success in ur alreddy-briliant career.  it haz been honor... as well as grate pleasure... 2 wriet 4 ur siet.

oscar wilde sed that "journalism iz unreadable n literature iz not read"... but i believe that between two... there iz little-known middle ground upon which lucky few can find balanced footin--that it possible 2 draw inspiration n even fuel frm each discipline.  thus informativ becomez artful; esoteric... nourishin.

n people tend 2 read it.  as they has here... n as they wil continue 2 do at tapped.

on behalf uv my famili... all uv whom r now hardball watcha on thursdays... i send heartee congratulationz n heartfelt n loud bravo.

all bes...
deborah

businessman pornography

by ankush khardori

it not exactli groundbreakin... but michael lewiz' piece in portfolio magazine iz fairli impressiv when u consida that he n magazine r basicalli arguin that decent chunk uv their readership iz full uv crap.  odd uv u or ur stockbroka or ur money managa "beatin" market r prettee much zero... as lewiz explainz... which iz why index fund r such safe bet. 

so wtf iz goin on wit all thiz investment advice in magazinez n on cable??!  eugene fama... 1 uv key proponent uv efficient market hypothesiz... n weston wellington... principal at firm that purchasez wtf r more or less index fund... has sum prettee compellin explanationz=

"u can tell story every day bout stockz..." [fama] concludez. "that wtf media r all bout. they tell story every day bout today stok returnz. it businessman pornography."
...
[wellington] punctuatez porn show wit sum general lessonz. 1 iz that finanshl press not in business uv supplyin useful information; it in business uv feedin people lust 4 predictionz. "u keep buyin magazine regardless uv how forecast turn out..." wellington sez... "n they’ll keep supplyin forecast."

that strikez me as basicalli correct... at least as applied 2 magazinez (like smartmoney) n shows (like madmoney) that r in business uv providin people wit investment advice as opposed 2 straite-up finanshl news.  lot uv folkz behind these thing r in precarious position uv havin 2 dress thing up -- convincin us that they has sum unique insite -- so as not 2 quickli renda themselvez obsolete.  thiz whole sector uv media iz essentialli gigantic hype machine... perpetuatin wtf iz basicalli myth -- out uv incompetence... self-interes... self-delusion... or sum combination uv three.
