A private investor for 20+ years, I manage private portfolios and write about investing. You can read my market musings on three different sites: 1) The Deipnosophist, dedicated to teaching the market's processes and mechanics; 2) Investment Poetry, a subscription site dedicated to real time investment recommendations; and 3) Seeking Alpha, a combination of the other two sites with a mix of reprints from this site and all-original content. See you here, there, or the other site!

In appearance

Just received this email message from Jim Othmer...
Good news for those sick of hearing me read the same endless passage from The Futurist.

The New York Public Library has a terrific program called "Periodically Speaking", supporting independent literary publishing and emerging writers. I'm going to be the token fiction writer (and perhaps the oldest emerging writer on record) representing two-time National Magazine Winner, The Virginia Quarterly Review. I'll be reading a short strange piece I did in their Fall '06 Writers on Writers fiction supplement. It starts at 6PM and they do a nice (free) wine and cheesesticks thing at the Library afterwards.
And after that I hope to gather a group to head over to the Gingerman for drinks.

The details from their press release:

So here it is. This coming Tuesday affords you the opportunity to spend time with the witty and intelligent, James P Othmer. If you forgot how much I enjoyed his novel, The Futurist, please read my review here. You will find it approximately 1/3 of the way down the page. (And while there, please vote in favor of my review. I surely would appreciate your vote!)
