And no I don't give a damn about who's getting what award, who's getting promoted, what wonderful sales approach is about to appear on TV or the next fashion magazine. Don't even care who died and what his accomplishments were. Don't care who made how much money, who lost how much money, who's buying up the world. Or how anyone's stock in fluctuating. We are opticians, not investors. Very few of us have enough money to invest anyway.
