The myth of the frequently posting blogger

I know, I know, I promised to make no more mention of The Myth of the Rational Market until I had finished the manuscript. But my failure to finish things up over the past few weeks has motivated me to take the rest of this week off to work on it. So apart from maybe a photo or two, or any cool discoveries I make while delving through the notes for my book, I won’t be posting much this week. And then I’m going skiing next week. I may still try to line up a guest blogger (what are you up to, Gimein?), but no guarantees.

I do guarantee that, once the book is in, I’m going to think a bit harder than I’ve been doing about how to make this here blog an entertaining and useful place for readers. So if you’ve got any suggestions, leave them in the comments or email me: capitalist at timemagazine.com.

    Apple CEO Cook Gives Up $75M in Stock Dividends

    NEW YORK — Apple CEO Tim Cook is giving up $75 million in dividends on restricted stock that the company is awarding to all of its employees.

    In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, Apple Inc. said that Cook requested that his restricted stock units not receive dividends. The dividends that Apple workers are getting amount to $2.65 per quarter for each restricted stock unit held. The shares are not normally eligible to receive dividends, so Apple’s decision is a perk for its employees.

    It’s a shame you’ll be disappearing for a couple weeks – your blog quickly became a daily must-visit for me.. and I’m sure others as well.

    Indeed. Withdrawal :(

    I like it mostly as is too. Maybe a reader topic of the week/month/year (depending on how much you really want to do it)? But even that is a mild suggestion.
