Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude©
He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
At the requests of more than a few of you, I pulled hard through my rolodex and made a phone interview with “Don Johnson”, a man I’ve known for a few years whom I’ll call friend of a friend. Now, before we give you the transcript of this call -this …
The title of today’s sermon is somewhat off. It is an obvious allusion to Gabriel G. Marquez’s novel, Love in the Time of Cholera (first published in 1985), but really my title properly should have been “Love in the time of feminine power”, not the Corona(virus), since for three or …
