The new 911 Carrera (991 Mk2) - Ever ahead

We like to start from the front. In the lead. The new 911.

The 991 Mk2 

Yet again, everything comes back into play. It’s about a new benchmark. A sports car that has only ever existed once in this form. That has been a source of fascination for generations. And is firmly in our heart and soul. It’s about the future of the 911.

Despite what many people will say, particularly folks in the index fund industry like Vanguard founder John Bogle, a do ­it ­yourself investor or money manager can beat the market, even over long periods of time. The problem is that beating the market is so difficult that most people shouldn’t try. It’s true that for long­term investment advice, you could do a lot worse than to park your money in a low­cost Vanguard index fund and not think about it more than once a quarter. But some mutual fund managers have proven that superior performance can be bought or mimicked.

Many people give little thought to life’s important decisions. They stumble into them by accidents of geography, time, or chance. Where to live, where to work, what markets to trade—many of us decide on a whim, without much serious thought. No wonder so many are dissatisfied with their lives. You can choose your markets on a whim or pause to think whether to trade stocks, futures, or options. Each of those has pluses as well as minuses.

Echo and Pan: The Girl on the Swing

“One thing that always surprised me was that Bobby ever had anything to do with me, because I was from the other side of the tracks. He was a nice Hibbing boy and I was from out of town. He was rich folk and we were poor folk. He was Jewish and we were German, Swedish, Russian, and Irish, all mixed together.”

Actors’ Studio Midwest

Before Elvis donned black leather, the idols of many young Americans had nothing to do with music. A few idolized the genial general who moved into the White House in 1953 but a small circle of Iron Range youths found their models in the Actors’ Studio, by way of the movies. Brando’s The Wild One and Dean’s East of Eden, Giant, and, especially, Rebel Without a Cause stunned these isolated provincials.
