"The fool doth think he is wise but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." William Shakespeare
The financial markets' participants have been vollying back and forth lately from participating in foolishness to paying for it...
If Shakespeare were living, he certainly would have something to say (or write) about the way people act in these times...
- The financial crisis certainly has many characters "playing the fool" that Shakespeare would find interesting. Who's the greater fool?
- The $915 billion "credit bomb" is evidence that American consumers didn't listen to Shakespeare's wisdom of "have more than thou showest."
- Read why the story of ousted Merrill Lynch CEO, Stanley O'Neal, could have been written by Shakespeare.
- There is actually very little hand-written documentation of his brilliant literary works. It's no wonder Shakespeare's signature is worth $3 million.
- In fact, Mark Twain wondered if Shakespeare really wrote any of his works at all. Is Shakespeare Dead?
- If you're passionate about Shakespeare, then you have something in common with Beethoven.
Thanks for joining me this week and for being some part of my first year in the blogosphere. Have a nice weekend...
