Still alive

Apologies for the radio silence. Just a friendly note to say this isn't one of the countless blogs destined to become abandoned and overrun with weeds -- my personal and professional lives are just a little up in the air at the moment. It's all being sorted, and all will be well.

Thanks for the kind (albeit concerned) words. I will be fine, and back to regular posting soon.

In the meantime, strap yourself in and enjoy the most volatile stock market we've had in years.

If adding the $600 you made in financials today to the $700 you lost in commodities last week isn't enough fun for you, please enjoy the latest hilarious Biovail-related lawsuit. Now that I'm no longer an owner, it's a lot easier to shake my head and smile.

Earnings reports may come and go, but lawsuits related to egregious accounting malfeasance are forever, it seems. Nice to have something you can count on.
