Investments

Since last fall's economic meltdown, I have more than doubled my money during the market's cliff's-of-Dover-steep recovery. Now, I'm thinking about taking a short position for the month of September or maybe even for the rest of the year.

I feel a bit squirrely about betting against our economy/stock market. Like I'm somehow acting unpatriotic or doubting a favored child. Those feelings are probably just silly... right? It is patriotic to "capitalize" on whatever the market does... right?

Summer Vacation is Over

I am back dear readers! I know you missed me... I hope you were able to entertain yourselves sufficiently without compromising your morals. Idle hands and all that...

Today's topic: terrible lawyer jokes. Here's mine:

The IP lawyer turned from his window and disgustingly exclaimed to his client, "Death-ray my butt! This thing doesn't even slow 'em down!"

Not funny? How about this one:

It's the 99% of lawyers that give the rest of us a bad name.

No? Last chance:

What's the difference between a rat and a lawyer? I don't know either. (This one is marginally better when delivered out loud.)

OK, dear reader, obviously I'm depending on your writing skills. Have a go...
