I had to laugh out loud yesterday when reading the paper and seeing that Wells Fargo was going to have to pay $3.4 million to customers to settle a regulator’s claims that brokers recommended certain investment products they did not fully understand.

Perhaps we still accept shipments from Panama, perhaps Panama likes us, perhaps coffee is immune to the […]
