Thought for the day - the world is a dangerous place

May I suggest that you revert your blog to financial and insurance matters as you have very efficiently done so for the past 1 year. All this minibond and lehman issues are grating on the nerves and will receive less and less support as time goes by, as these aggrieved investors leave your company one by one when they realise that the effort is futile. Without even looking for hard statistics, I am quite sure your blog's readership has declined in the past few weeks because of this.

I enjoy reading your blog re the interesting articles and your insights into the financial and investing world. But please, do keep this lehman and dbs issues at a minimum. It is starting to sound like a broken record over and over again :(

Thank You.; December 26, 2008 7:06 AM

They assumed the world is safe.

They assumed people are not evil.

Heck they even assumed they COULD do something about it.; December 26, 2008 2:05 PM

To those who are affected, the volume is not loud enough.

The FIs and bystanders are hoping it will die out as soon as possible.
