My WaPo Articles, 2011-17

I have been writing about investing, market
policy and personal finance for the Sunday Washington Post Business Section
since 2011.
Thanks to a recent reorganization that has the
Post more focused on governance, policy and all things DC-related, the Sunday
section has been revamped, with less investing/finance related content.
Like all good things in life, this too must
end: My run with the Washington Post has officially reached its end. I
appreciate all the wonderful people I worked with there. Jeff Bezos and the 2016
campaign has breathed new life into it.
The Washington Post is a great paper; I very
much liked being part of an old school print operation, as it gave me a front
seat onto the challenges of that sort of business.
Here is the archive of all of my WaPo columns
over the past 6 years:
