Well, that's the problem -- he *doesn't* capture it. It's an op-ed
piece, not an intelligent, reasoned analysis. It's dumbed down to the
point of uselessness (or worse, it's misleading).
Spooky background music + ominous sounding but false "storm" analogies
+ fee-based web site advertisement front and center = charlatan trying
to scare you into paying for his "investment services".

Well, fwiw, I never suggested or believed it was an "intelligent, reasoned
analysis".
In fact I'm pretty sure I said it was a "down to earth perspective and a
street smarts description "
For "intelligent" maybe go here and see what the "intelligent professionals"
say about it:

Man look at this QUOTE :
"Bloomberg LP, whose best-selling financial news and data terminals are
ubiquitous on Wall Street, is trying to reassure jittery employees that it
will weather the financial storm after the failure of one major client and
the sale of another."
SHEESH, man I get sick of these dumbed down analysis's by idiots. It's just
soooo misleading!
OK, Ta, I take your point. Seems like you're right again.
