...their prospects. Almost none of them warned of the downturn in the economy or in their own business. Public companies turned themselves into charlatans, not because of what they said, but because of what they did not say. When businesses went bad, nearly everyone at big American companies became quiet. For Wall St. the silence was a betrayal and one which won't be forgotten...

Indeed, by day it resembles a veritable coffeehouse--the type you would find in 18th-century Enlightenment Europe, where Diderot and Montaigne would discuss the great ideas over a newspaper and cup of coffee. Yeah right. More like sweaty undergrads crammed together eating all the food. But whatever, it gets the job done. You're probably reading this there...
