I wouldn’t mind having his job…

Professor Yin wonders what will become of the Fastow kids since both of their parents have been sentenced to the bing for their roles in the Enron scandal. While I am sure that Lea and Andy will end up spending their time in a palatial clink, it will be a clank nonetheless.

It looks like Lea is going to do her bid while Andy takes the reins at home. Then Lea is going to tag Andy in. I can just see Andy now…

Mommy is staying at a nice hotel for a few months. She’s away on “business.” In fact, When mommy gets back, I will be going away on “business” too. Mommy gets a nicer hotel though.

For any of you interested in knowledge management and the like, I just posted some of my reflections on institutional memory loss over at Bret Holmes’ Art of Knowledge.

James K. Glassman has an article entitled “Don’t Panic, But Start Selling” in today’s Washington Post. I don’t know much about mutual funds, but the title of this piece caught my eye for its bluntness, something you don’t see very often in newspapers. Glassman goes on to state:

My advice: It’s time to dump Putnam, Strong and Alger funds, unless you have a very good reason to keep them, such as avoiding a big tax bill or wanting to hold on to a fund that has been a superb performer. All three of the firms are making changes, so if you are the forgiving sort, you may want to wait. But, in my view, it is reckless to entrust your money to institutions that have proved rotten at the top, no matter what their intentions for the future.

I like this guy. He’s not pulling any punches.
