It's amazing what you can stumble upon when you're surfing. I once saw an interview with a proudly capitalist guy who ran a website called Capitalistpig.com. I thought it amusing at the time, since capitalists seem to be lowly thought of these days and I tend to identify myself as such. Maybe it was a magazine. Maybe it was just a newsletter or a book. Because when I went to the site today, it was hardly what I expected it to be.

Now let's say that you're quite the millionaire -- or even that you have a substantial amount of money to invest. I ask you, are these REALLY the people that you're going to invest it with? When you find yourself schmoozing at a party, cocktail or wine in hand do you really imagine yourself prideful as you tell your friends that your future lies with "Capitalist Pig Asset Management" and not those stuffy people at Goldman Sachs, Paine Webber or Merrill Lynch? Tsk, tsk CPAM: you need to get yourself a new brand.
