One Of The Other Geoff Fox’s

A friend in Madison, WI sent me an article from The Onion. “I Totally Called Yesterday’s Surge in Tech Stocks” is typical for The Onion (irreverent, intelligent and simultaneously filthy) except for the fact that it claims to be written by Geoffrey Fox!

I’m attaching the text (language alert) to the link below. However, the best way to read it is on The Onion’s site.

You all think you’re hot shit because you guessed that the dollar would continue to slide against the euro, but answer me this: Who totally called yesterday’s 0.4 percent surge in technology stock valuations, in spite of their inflated P/E ratio?
