I am single-handedly responsible for generating large sums of revenue for IP, MMM and HPQ as both MEI (Mrs. EI) and my mom can attest. Mom really had a problem with stacks of newspaper in my room.

Some of my best investing ideas come from articles misplaced for about three to six months and sometimes a year after the hype has worn off.
I told 56Chevy a couple of months ago about my vision of having a north-facing office with only whiteboards as walls when starting my own firm. Sounds strange? Not really.

One of the guests later told the story about Rainwater's whiteboard office. Bingo!
