Obsession

What's the buzz? The juice? Hot buttons, trends, rumors, gossip? I was debriefing an IR consultant friend just returned from a whirlwind tour round the financial capitals of North America. 'Nothing,' he replied, with that drawn out first syllable and rising tone on the second that only whiny American teenagers and my consultant friend can pull off. 'It's the most boring time in the world.' But this is such an exciting time to be alive! I exhorted. We're on the eve of the third millennium.
