I test drove the Storm myself yesterday, twice. First impression was awesome. I was ready to buy. I left the store and started reading reviews online. Those reviews caused me to head back to the store for a second look. What I found? For…
The past week has been a brutal one for the bank I’ve patronized since I was a child. An uncertain market beat up the stock price all week long. The NY Times wrote a very telling article about the things Citi did to help…
Tim Geithner, president of the New York Fed, will be nominated as Obama’s Treasury Secretary. Some have suggested this isn’t a good idea because of his lack of experience. I actually really like this choice. I can live with the lack of experience (and…
I had to be in Philly for a meeting yesterday. Once I got checked into the hotel, I went back out to my car. Inevitably, the rental car turned East and headed to Borgata. Now, I really can’t stand going to Atlantic City. The…
