Dear Reader,
In meatspace we have stock brokers to tell us where to put out money and where not to. Here in the blogosphere, we have no such guidance. Since nature hates a vacuum like a Republican hates a social program, I am throwing myself into the void. Alexadex is the new market for trading web [...]

Dear Reader,
