Happy New Year!

I just woke up from a 20-year cryogenic sleep. Whussup?! I need your DSL to torrent the latest Britney single, and to use whatever replaced Google to find a Blockbuster — gotta rent Felicity on DVD! Team Noel! Hmm, I should call my mom and my Blackberry isn’t working. I’ll just pop out and look for a phone booth. Spot me a dime?

Hey, why’s everyone wearing masks?

As another certain-to-be-confounding year begins, our freshly-refurbished, now-weekly newsletter will help you help your audience make sense of the world. We’ll bring you learning opportunities and edifying content, plus the ubiquitous “and more!”

I saw the writing on wall, when the first non-broker trained CEO was appointed at MERRILL LYNCH. My boss, who answered directly to that CEO, said to me after first meeting him, “…some people make bold moves to climb to the top. Others hide behind them so they don’t get shot in hopes of reaping spoils, if others fail. Time to take the severance package before this ship blows itself up…” I requested mine to be finalized on May 8th the day Joan of Arc liberated Paris in 1429. Not long after, two executives and I were advising other firms on how to be better Broker-Dealers. Four months almost to the day, on what would have been my usual quarterly visit to Merrill Lynch headquarters in New York City. The Twin Towers were attacked. Seven years later my old firm MERRILL LYNCH collapsed under subprime and credit default swap mistakes. The rest of the financial markets and the country’s economy followed.
