A Tale of Two Public Offerings

With the credit market still in lockdown and the equity market on a downswing, taking a company public might seem a bit loopy. Two companies that actually took the plunge this week, American Waterworks and Intrepid Potash, exemplify how bipolar this market has become.

Randy Pausch's Last Lecture

The "Last Lecture"
I am flattered and embarassed by all the recent attention to my "Last Lecture." I am told that, including abridged versions, over six million people have viewed the lecture online. The lecture really was for my kids, but if others are finding value in it, that is wonderful. But rest assured; I'm hardly unique. Send your kids to Carnegie Mellon and the other professors here will teach them valuable life lessons long after I'm gone.
