The Return of the American Investor

As an act of optimism ... as the Geoffrey Raymond stamp of approval that this is not a bear rally but a real rally ... I'm dragging "The American Investor" back onto the streets tomorrow. The thinking is this: red for going down, black for going up. That is to say, I had this painting annotated publicly several times during the economic spin in red--the cumulative results of which you can see here ...



... and now maybe, as the economy recovers (if, in fact, it is recovering and not just messing with our heads), I'll take the comments in black.

Then, when the stark reality of heretofore unaccounted-for credit card mess hits home, we'll be able to pull the red pens back out. And so on.
