  • Who Owns You?

    29 July 10 • 4 comments

    Early in July I met Keith Raffel at Thrillerfest, which is a convention for thriller writers and their readers. Keith is a veteran of Silicon Valley and the author of Smasher and Dot Dead. He agreed to blog on Acrimoney, talk about his books and pull back the veil of venture capital. I think you’ll enjoy Keith’s insights, not to mention the anecdote that gives rise to the title of this post. BTW, after you read Keith’s post, you will understand why Acrimoney is looking for $50 million in seed capital.

    Retirement Planning

    Editor’s Note: Rick Rodgers is a retirement specialist. He has been kind enough to post a few thoughts about Roth IRAs, which are timely given provisions in the tax code for 2010. His post is technical. But if you’re in a career transition and your income is way down this year, I encourage you to take a look and ask questions. You could save some money.

    Dead Like You

    Editors Note: Last weekend at Thrillerfest, I had the great pleasure to spend time with Peter James, best-selling author of the Roy Grace detective novels. We compared notes, police versus finance, and Peter described the market for human body parts.

    Organs don’t trade on public exchanges. But neither do synthetic CDOs when you think about it. It’s a fascinating topic, and Peter agreed to share his research notes for Dead Tomorrow. His latest Roy Grace novel, Dead Like You, will release in the United States on November 23.
