1. Yet another good piece from Allan Roth (“10 lessons from the great stock crash and recovery”).
2. But I don’t like how he forces you to navigate his lists [here “10 lessons”] one item at a time – without ever giving you the complete list in one place for perusal and/or reference. Also, each item is only identified numerically, by page number, forcing you to click on each link to discover its contents.
3. Perhaps it’s a lesson in delayed gratification from Mr Roth? 11 lessons, then. 🙂
