The SEC has noticed a dramatic rise in fraud against online brokerage accounts. This is a very interesting article in that it shows how an attacker can take over accounts and make money without necessarily removing money from those accounts.

My friend Lance Weatherby over at Force of Good has a post about the effects of capital gains tax rates on startups and equity investing - saying he won't vote for anyone who wants to raise the capital gains tax rate.. My main source of income for the last 10 years has been capital gains and it doesn't look like that is going to change any time soon, unfortunately. So I am certainly fond of lower capital gains rates. However, I think capital gains rates are too low and that many arguments against raising the rates are spurious at best.
