Had you diversified, through mutual funds, your losing techs would be balanced by the gains this year in, say, utilities and energy stocks. I also have some deeply felt wants as a woman. A classic gag involves women digging through their purses for car keys or lipstick while long-suffering men stand by. But of course we have to dig. Most purses are built as one vast cavern, where everything has to go.
Briefcases have compartments.
Compartments let you segregate important things so you can find them fast. By laughing while we dig through our purses, you're blaming the victim. Make purses with three central compartments and two zipped ones, and then see who can find the car keys faster. I'd like to know how many Americans in Florida really voted in November. Under Florida's sunshine laws, the press should eventually be able to count the ballots.
