As we navigate trying to understand the investment world, this blog tries to wade through the sludge to improve our understanding. I post anonymously. In the spirit of pioneering financial writers from Larry Livingstone to today’s blogosphere, I changed my pen name. **Hello J.J. Butler**. Eighty years ago (pre-SEC!) a real J.J. Butler wrote the booklet *[Successful Stock Speculation](http://www.gutenberg.org/files/26841/26841-h/26841-h.htm)* for his brokerage firm. Enjoy!
