Great essay, thanks for the writing. I too am a fan of DFW although oddly I've only read his shorter non-fiction stuff.

I do still have a question though, why/how did this lead to stock purchases?

This encouraged me to go and read the whole thing. "White as communion wafers" might be the best line I've read in a while. Hated IJ, but you've convinced me to read more of his essays. Thanks!
