BREAKING: Stuart Ashman resigned and under investigation but really its TW that needs investigating, a psychologist writes

I kid you not. Skinbiotherapeutics (SBTX) and its advisors are investigating Stuart Ashman’s conduct but he knows the outcome so has resigned with immediate effect. So what do folks need to know? Yes they need to investigate me!  This is off the scale lunacy. Or maybe it is a demonstration of the process of grieving, in thus case for a dying portfolio and an already vanquished credibility.

Fake grief for Las Vegas, my non grief but intense sadness as Tom Petty dies

A nation is grieving, said more or less everybody after the awful events in Las Vegas. Really? In the old days one grieved for the loss of someone you knew or were related to, someone you had cared about before they headed off to a better place.
