On Financial Matters…
Can you concentrate? I’ve been having a rough time this week.
I have promised myself to leave politics out of this blog, but it’s not out of my mind.
And the economic debacle … I’m hardly consoled with the “I told you so” feeling that has been driving me nuts. Since there were only one or two people who could stand to listen to me ramble on about you just can’t separate risk from reward for the past several years, it’s even less comforting to have been right. As a good friend told me (in relation to a lawsuit he was losing), “being right is the booby prize.” So where’s my booby?
In more trenchant commentary, see the following:
- The Underlying Basics of Finance and Credit is a great piece of analysis of how we got here.
- Paul Kedrosky is doing a great job covering the story from a digital age perspective.
What happens over the weekend is anyone’s guess. Enjoy the debates.
