Where is The Marginal Prophet?
Dear Mr. Marginal Prophet, You haven’t published anything since May 11th, and your postings have been spottier than my teenager’s homework. What happened to you? Did you fall into some algorithmic dark pool and lost your sense of self? What about me? Sincerely,
Frustrated reader
Dear Frustrated Reader,
I feel your pain. I don’t have one single good reason for my literary absence, but I do have plenty of excuses. Here are just a few.
- Robo went on a European vacation. His daughter Jaime, a junior at the U. of Michigan, is on a study abroad program. Robo had a great time and returned knowing everything there is to know about Belgium waffles. Just give him an order and he’ll tell you all about it.
- My Penserra job description has evolved. In an effort to broaden our product base, I am now involved with a team creating an equity research product, the cornerstone of which is based on something known as “crowdsourcing.” It involves the dissemination and accumulation of qualitative surveys, bundling statistical data, and performing multi-variable regression analysis Say what? Not to worry, though. I’m still trading. If you don’t believe me, send me an order.
- I’m fresh out of stories and I need some new material. I need to either; A) get out more often; B) get some new kids; or C) get a new wife. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to do any of these.
- I am in the process of creating a new and improved website to better express myself. It involves combining elements of leegeiger.com and marginalprophet.com. It should be ready by mid-June. Hopefully. Maybe. I’ll keep you posted.
That’s my story, Frustrated Reader. I’ll try to do better. In the meantime, feel free to send me an order.
Cheers,
The Marginal Prophet
