Hey Ike,
I saw you clicked on my site. I’m in the Philippines, thousands of miles away from New York where I presume you are. what made you click on m site? Do you have any particular interest in the Philippines? Was it just that CNN and the other networks had reported about the Typhoon devastation out here? anyway, if you want to learn more about the Philippines and its people, you are welcome to contact me. if you are inclined to follow our relatively small stock market, feel free to ask me anything on http://guscosio.wordpress.com.
God bless you,
Gus Cosio

No problem, Gus.
You actually “flagged” my attention by quoting me and linking to the piece I wrote for Media Bullseye about Seth Godin.
I am not in New York, but live and work in Birmingham, Alabama. I am a communicator first, and just pay attention to economics as a hobby.
