"Nowadays, you can't turn on the TV without some talking head telling you about the economy. Yet, in a world overrun by 'analysts,' only one man has the guts, the brains, and, quite frankly, the poetry to put it all in perspective.That man is Michael Silverstein... Silverstein is a true intellectual." — Gersh Kuntzman, The New York Post

"Few people have found much to laugh about in the stock market this year. Michael Silverstein is the exception. The Bard of the Bourse can find humor in losing money, globalization and stock options." — USA Today

About Silverstein's Verse

 

Charlie Wilson, a General Motors executive in the 1950s, famously stated that “what’s good for General Motors is good for the country.” Could that be right?

The GM Poem

There’s a quotation famed
From a man who proclaimed
There’s a GM conflation
With the health of the nation.

Now the car making gem
Once mighty GM
Can’t big losses stem.

If GM must shrink
To come back from the brink
Must America, too
From its primacy slink?
