I want to hear from you!

Want to comment on one of my articles?
  Every page has a comment section at the bottom.  I’m not infallible and I look forward to hearing from you. And by the way, you don’t have to worry about my feelings. I believe in the truth even when it hurts.

Email Me: Want to tell me something you don't want anyone else to hear?  Use the form below and your email will get to me. 
Got something you think I ought to know about?  Send me an email!

How to get your stuff reviewed.
I try to write honest, useful and literate reviews and that takes time.  So, I don’t review everything.  If your material wouldn’t interest a professional investor, then I’m probably not interested.  Sorry.  If your material is targeted toward beginning or amateur investors, for example, I’m not interested.  On the other hand, don’t give up just because your topic is outside of the investment mainstream.  I have written about sleep deprivation and catching liars, for example, and I am always interested in topics the investment press should be covering—but aren’t.  Send me an email and let me know what you have.

I am definitely interested in peer-reviewed articles on alternative investment topics.  If you have written one that you think I might be interested in, email me a link.  My readers will want to download copies of your article.  Or just send me an email and we'll talk.  I’m less interested in non-peer reviewed articles.  Still, if you are a brokerage company or consulting firm and have a white paper with a novel approach to an investment issue, send me a query and I’ll let you know if I’m interested.

If you are a publisher, send me a note and I’ll send you my address.  Then just send me whatever books or magazines you think my readers will be interested in.  If I review your book or magazine, I’ll provide a link so my readers can buy it, even if I don’t like it myself.

If you are a data provider or software vendor, send me a query.  F
or the record, I make no promises about providing positive reviews.  I call them as I see them.  If you disagree, you can post a note telling the world or, at least, my readers, what a meathead you think I am.  Assuming your rebuttal is of reasonable word length and not obscene, etc., I promise to post your rebuttal no matter what I think of it.  If I can’t post it for some reason, as long as your posting is legal to view in the US, I promise to link to it.
