About 90 million people will watch the Super Bowl this year. Like so many others, I care about the game mainly (maybe only) because of the commercials. This year, a 30-second spot costs $2.5 million (last year, the same slot cost $2.4 million; it was $2.3 million in 2004). Keyword ad […]

I’m a bit of a Warren Buffett freak. His performance statistics require no commentary: had you invested $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway when Buffet took control in 1965, you’d have more than $5 million today (had you instead purchased an S&P 500 index fund, you’d have about $500,000–still not that shabby).
