Write to me

Write to me about the markets and what they are doing to you, or you to them. About economic happenstance — the policy, the price, the headline that doesn't add up. About psychology, philosophy, the examined life — the question that follows you around. The best letters carry one true question or one honest disagreement; either is worth more than ten compliments.

Every serious letter is read. Many are answered — by letter, the way this is supposed to work. And some send me down the rabbit hole that becomes the next paper: when that happens, the paper answers you by name or by initials and city, as you prefer — from the correspondence. This is how the press stays pointed at its readers rather than at the algorithm: you write the questions; the catalogue writes back.
