Oh great, this we need?

Some nitwit claims that this is the perfect time for stay-at-home moms to become real estate agents. While surely it's coincidence that the lady is flogging her new book on just this subject, I still question her sense of timing (and that of her publisher, come to think of it). If it works, though, I may finally release my own, long deferred opus, "Mom's to Bond Traders - How to make billions from your own kitchen table".

Update: a reader who knows (well, he thinks he knows) that I'm kidding about bond trading from the kitchen table warns me not to laugh: it's been tried in the past with rather unfortunate results. As proof, he sent me this link to a NYT article on Japanese housewives going bust in currency trading.
