Friday is the 20th anniversary of 'Black Monday', when the Dow Jones fell 22.6%. The FTSE All-Share fell 20% in two days. Most investors can remember what they were doing then and, for some, it changed their lives. Peter Lynch starts my favourite investing book, 'One Up on Wall Street', reminding readers: You can't bring up the stock market these days without analyzing the events of October 16-20. Mr Lynch was on holiday with his wife in Ireland: That night at Doyle's, I couldn't have told you w …

I'd been meaning to post a link to this piece in 5th October's Guardian, as it summed up a lot of my feelings on the matter. While not supporting a generalised boycott of Israeli academia, I have some misgivings about such a boycott's having been declared unlawful, especially as no reasons have been given in support of such an opinion. The threats cited by Dr Gopal to academic freedom in the United States are well-known: Organisations such as Campus Watch monitor what academics write and teach, …

2007-10-13 21:20  the Once and Future Oz
In the Western Hemisphere, the dominant cultural identity of Australia still falls into the stereotypical Ocker mode, i.e. Mick Dundee and Foster's beer commercials. To painfully hip and cosmopolitan Sydney residents, this comes as quite a rude shock. The words "Australian music" might instantly trigger didgeridoos more than dance beats, but the brand of upbeat tunes that remind me of that swell locale are about as far from the Outback mentality as New York. A trio; Kylie Minogue - "2 Hearts" Th …

A search brought a visitor to this post of mine, made long ago when Jane Siberry began making her music available for download from her site at a price the downloader was willing to pay. So why all the fuss about Radiohead copy-catting her I guess maybe they are more famous, but to be honest the only fans of the group I ever encountered were in Oxford, England, which would be like finding Jane Siberry fans in Guelph, Ontario. And the first Jane Siberry fan I heard from was in Ithaca, NY. I'm jus …
