Why?

Curious his column has nothing to do with the stock market.

Rodney...can you explain for me? (I think I am being dense and missing the specific point...)

Yeah, but a lot of us go home when the stock market closes, and like to end our day by reading his column. Instead, we have to then read it the next day.

If its not out by the time the market closes, we often have to go home without having read it.

Well why don't you register to have it emailed to your home account, instead of stealing from your employer?

Cuz I like to read it at work, and I am not stealing it from my employer.

Because you said that you want the column posted so that you can read it before you go home from work. If you are self employed, that is one thing -- you are just being demanding of other people's time (the writers, the isp, etc.)

If you are trading stocks for a larger company as an employee, or for clients -- then you are stealing time and use of the computer from your employer, or your clients.

In any case, it is a stupid request. Why don't you just be grateful for the priceless gift of research, insight, and humor that Taranto provides you for FREE. Your "demand" sounds like something a spoiled brat would write!

If you don't like vanity posts, why do you even go to the vanity section where this is properly posted?
