The one thing I learned for sure last week is that working remotely has unbelievable productivity benefits compared to working in an office setting… When you’re in a remote location, meetings are few and far between and they are extremely focused. In an office, not so much… I’m extremely happy to be back on home turf.

Rumor has it there was a bit of trash-talking from a certain Asian-based editor about how he wiped the floor with me in our little debate Thursday night. He made the argument that the dollar was doomed. I warned that European sovereign debt, Europe’s slow pace of banking reform and host of other factors would preclude a dollar collapse… We debate, you decide.
