Our Blog

As time permits, we write about anything that annoys, interests, or amuses us.

A few posts are silly, but most are serious, and all illustrate our thinking and inform about our perspective: WYSIWYG.

We write about a variety of topics for a variety of reasons, including:

  1. to determine the search-engine optimization characteristics of our content management system and add-ons, and
  2. to see how such firms and individuals respond to our posts. (We’re always happy when we appear higher in the search-engine results than the firm or person we are writing about. It’s much more common than one would think, and that says something about our SEO technology and approach.)

We have written extensively on the financial crisis and government bailout and have proposed a reasonable, alternative private solution involving a few simple changes in the federal tax code. Unfortunately, it was ignored.

Those interested in markets and risk management should start with Uncertainty Management, which explains our philosophy.

Many posts provide examples of concepts presented in our essays, which appear under the Approach page.

If you’re interested in our control-related essays and blog posts, we strongly encourage you to start with Our Control Framework.  It defines many terms in the technical way that we use them, which may be different than how the words are used within your own firm or organization.

Posts related to the web are now published at SperoWebDesign.

Lately, we’ve posted essays with the other blog material rather than as static pages, e.g., our many entries on risk neutral models and “implied” default rates. They seem to get higher ranks in the search engines if we publish them as posts rather than as pages. Who knew?
