At times of financial turmoil there's something reassuring about the term "the real economy." It would be even more reassuring if it didn't usually denote a realm threatened by forces emanating from a scary parallel universe. But when the headlines describe large, familiar financial institutions gravely damaged by securities so...

Bear Stearns set the tone early this summer, taking a big hit from a hedge fund it manages called the High-Grade Structured Credit Strategies Enhanced Leverage Fund. And I'm wondering, when the folks at Bear were marketing this thing, did they by any chance use a sock puppet? I can...

So what do you think Bill Marshall should do? Should he recommend that Middlecomm press ahead with the acquisition of BusinessNet? Is he crazy to have taken that biz dev job at Middlecomm in the first place? OK: Bill is a fictional character. But these are not rhetorical questions. They...
