  I can feel the tide turning, I don’t like it because it forces me to shift gears and puts my strategy in no man’s land until a new trend emerges.  But to ignore the facts would be criminal to my P&L, which has taken a hit as this trend has ended.  I still see opportunity [...]

  It was cold here in New York today, not just fall cold, but nasty almost winter cold.  This happens to be my favorite time of year here, the air is dry, the leaves change colors, and you no longer bake in the subway.  The uncomfortable feeling didn’t end when I walked into the office this morning [...]
