Actually, there were two central banks in america before the FED was founded in 1913. The Bank of North America and the Bank of the United States, the latter named after the BOE. I have this nagging feeling that there might have been a third actually, but i don't remember it. Anyways, both of...

Uh, where did you get that? You do realize that myopia is a ailment of the eye so any deffinition of a word based on it probably doesn't include the concept "able to see"

Strange that AUM went down durring lynch's time at the helm when the fund averaged a return of 29% during that same time.

Lynch. Peter lynch. Awesome.

All well and fine except the myopic bit. Myopic: (adjective) 1. Ophthalmology. pertaining to or having myopia; nearsighted. 2. unable or unwilling to act prudently; shortsighted. 3. lacking tolerance or understanding; narrow-minded. If you ask me, which you didn't, I'd say it was...

Who was the name of the guy who used to run the Magellen fund before Lange? I remember reading a book by him a number of years back but I can't for the life of me remember what his name is now. Was a good book too.
