"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

 

Haiku For The
Financially Perplexed

Pay kid’s tuition
Or keep the Bronco gassed up;
That is the question.

Experts all agree
This growth spurt is no bubble;
Are they mistaken?

I’m just wondering
When those tax cuts for the rich
Will tickle down to me.

Cunning Al Greenspan
Held his finger to the wind
And split in the nick.

Many folks who chose
Adjustable rate mortgagees
Will soon be renters.

To pay household bills
I’m using my credit cards;
Will this cause problems?
