I’ve installed Akismet, an anti-spam tool, and turned off comment moderation (except for comments with links).
Edit: Wordpress is still queuing comments for moderation. Sorry, I’ll try to get it fixed.

Just in time for the global market mini-crash. Most overseas markets down 6%, most since 9/11. It’s a confusing time, what to do? Stocks are already down a lot and oversold, but maybe bounces only after a crash. I think the market trades sideways in a wide range for a while, like Japan (range-bound for 16-years).
Not a good time to be a buy-and-holder or an i-banker. I’m short and in cash, but this still makes me sad. A lot of people will go broke. Even in the gilded palace of Manhattan where I live, services will be cut, garbage picked up less, fewer cops, more pan-handlers. Let’s see how much longer dumb foreigners will pay $6000/sq. foot for Manhattan real estate.
