Money and Other Subjects

If At First . . .

June 30, 2008March 25, 2012

Friday, at some personal sacrifice, I wrote no column, hoping that by canceling the day, I could keep the market from dropping any further.

(What was the personal sacrifice? Well, I forewent the opportunity to brag about this great New York Times photo from Charles’s upcoming ‘resort’ line. As you know, this site makes its money through your purchases of Charles Nolan apparel and Honest Tea.)

It did not work. The market fell. And I’m not sure how to get it to go back up any time soon, so – for lack of a better plan — I’m going to try it again.
