I broke most of the external referrals to my blog posts when moving to a new blog engine, so why not take this opportunity to change my blog’s address as well? From now on, the official address of this blog is http://tozon.info/blog/ The old address will remain functional and I will do my best to catch...

DOW is down almost 700, again. And... ... I just have to post this. Especially when almost everything (besides devaluation of the safe currency ) has already been done. If you had bought $1,000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. With Enron , you would have $16.50 of the original...
