The Ties That Bind
In the mid-1990s, some brash twentysomethings attempted to launch a men’s magazine called POV. As they prepared to produce their first issue not a single major celebrity would do an interview for a unique column called "When I was 25" with a magazine no one knew, which didn't yet exist beyond a prototype.

A True Wall Street Warrior
The following “blog” will contain neither snark, nor sarcasm. It will not reference excessive spin class grunting. You will not find allegations of market manipulation. Nor will the phrase "highly secretive, largely unregulated" come into play.

City Group
We are now rolling out our new issue featuring our annual Trader Monthly 100 chronicling the sickest cash hauls of 2007. While you’d think I’d be totally stoked having worked on this project practically nonstop since the end of December, in actuality, though the April/May issue is only now about to drop, I’m full steam ahead on the next one. This next issue (June/July) will for the second time chronicle the 50 Best Trading Cities in the World. Our first installment did not exactly take the world by storm though I did notice Citadel’s website links to the piece. I want this next Top Cities package to be all it can be, hence this column informing readers what I’m cooking up.

Be Careful What You Wish For
When Arthur Levitt was the chairman of the S.E.C. he was seen as a champion of the small, individual investor. Forget that most individual investors are actually participating in the market by way of big institutional investors (mutual funds, pension funds) Levitt can always say did his part to empower the proverbial little old ladies buying 10 shares of Microsoft.
