Financial columnist Malcolm Berko, whose column appeared in the Oakland County Legal News for many years, has passed away in Florida.
His column, “Taking Stock,” which often railed against modern life and politics as much as it doled out financial advice, was extremely popular with readers.
Berko’s column was most recently distributed by Andrews McMeel Syndication, after being with Creators Syndicate for some time.
According to Creators, Berko was also a published poet and nature photographer.
Berko had recently stopped writing the column. In his last column, he wrote “Be an optimist, not a pessimist; you’ll get invited to more parties.”
His current syndicator indicated that he died June 13.
