- A Note to Rupert Murdoch and the Newspaper Barons on Pricing
- Matthew Rafat submits: Newspapers must have idiots running their business departments. Newspapers price their product in ways that no other retailer would even consider.

- Madoff's Investors Don't Deserve Compensation or Sympathy
- Matthew Rafat submits: The WSJ is issuing more Madoff victim propaganda. It is interesting to see the WSJ advocating free markets while slyly supporting special treatment for rich investors who failed to follow basic financial advice.
