Adam Siegel of Inkling Markets is also out with a post on that NYT article, but it is of no intellectual interest. Maybe Adam should blog less quickly and eat more fish.

I forgot to tell you, the other day, that Best Buy is a Consensus Point client, but you knew that already.

    I don’t think the the NYT article is rubbish. But I do think this graphic was good. I was going re-publish my post to Midas Oracle. Can you get rid of this one so I can post it? Then people won’t have to click over.
