What the #*$% is this?

1. A blog, duh.
   
2. An effort to employ currently underutilized assets (educational & otherwise) thus making the world's allocation of resources a bit more Pareto-optimal.
3. Comments on, analysis of and information about changes in U.S. and international financial market regulation.
4. A heroic quest to dispel common myths and elaborate rationalizations about finance and investing (or, alternately, occasional thoughts on avoiding the worst financial ideas...)
