My Picks (vs. Most Popular)
When you post — on average — twice a day for a couple years, they can’t all be zingers.
But after some 3,000 or so posts and drafts (yes, I’ve got another couple hundred posts teed up), at least a few have been spot-on, as they say: well-written, insightful, and full of original, compelling analysis.
And in the case of (still) needed Wall Street reform, all too topical today.
So, which ones am I proudest of?
Here’s a good start (note: the “Top Ten” posts by popularity are on the right side of this page; you’ll note that there is a little overlap):
10. “Freakonomics” Rebuttal.
9. “The Bob Newhart Economy.”
8. “A Financial Gettysburg Address.”
7. “(Un)Employment in the Year 2112.”
6. “Goldman Sachs: ‘It’s Not My Dog.”
5. “Real Estate Euphemisms.”
4. “Warren Buffett Names 87 Year-Old to be Heir Apparent.”
3. “Home Seller’s Golden Rule.”
2. “Nurse, I Need a Price Reduction, Stat!!”
1. “Realtor Prayer.”
Honorable Mention: “Realtor Job Description“; “Groupon for Underwater Homeowners“; “Edina Realty Steals a Page from Southwest Airlines, the NFL, etc.”; “The Wall Street Journal Whiffs on Warren“; “Is Shiller Right About Trills, GDP?”
Thanks for watching reading!
