Don’t Be A Chicken Little: Rosetta Stone Knows The Sky Isn’t Falling

Kaihan Krippendorff — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 14:20:17 -0400

The market has fallen two weeks in a row and the analysts are already running around like Chicken Little. While it is so tempting to get caught up in these daily dramas, it is also short-sighted.

Waddell Stimulus Package

Clash of the Classes

Steve Curnutte — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 10:38:23 -0400

Take any sampling of say, 500 Americans. Ask each of them if the language of today’s political rhetoric and public discourse through the media is too inflammatory, too mean spirited. To the last one, they would say yes. They might even go so far as to say it is worse than it has ever been.

On Not Getting It

Ruth Sherman — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:35:40 -0500

I was with a client last week, the CEO of a public company. I have known and worked with this person for about 10 years. Although the company is on solid financial footing, the current business climate has forced him to make some tough decisions including layoffs, elimination of the 401K match and everyone working harder with more worries, fewer hands on deck and fewer resources.

Returns: Don't BANK On It!

David S. Waddell — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:28:59 -0500

Anxieties around the banking sector have once again paralyzed the markets. With Citigroup and Bank of America trading like lottery tickets and negative surprises emanating from State Street and others, we seem to be right back into the fall of 2008. The governmental solution at the time was the TARP plan, which morphed from a toxic asset purchase plan into a capital injection plan and now may be morphing back into a toxic asset purchase plan. Truth is, the conversation must be an “and” conversation and not an “or” conversation at this point.

The Death of 'Cruel Arrogance'?

Arrogance will never die of course, but hopefully the last few months have set it back a pinch.

The Case of the Puzzled Baboons

Steve Curnutte — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 15:13:39 -0500

America has collectively awakened to a crisis. Fear and a bunker mentality have choked consumer spending. It seems bad news makes people act even more conservatively, which makes things worse, which makes for more bad news. Most of what is written about this phenomenon seems to rest on intangible reasons like consumer sentiment or retail pullback. So we thought we could offer a concrete, albeit strange, example by looking to the world of primates.

A Wall to Push Off...

Steve Curnutte — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:26:47 -0500

To intervene or not to intervene. That is the raging debate on our satellites. That is the raging debate around our water coolers. ‘Let them fail!’ or “They are too big to fail.’ But it is far deeper and more subtle than that…
