Close, but ...

Krypto is sleeping in ... her model shows no action for today.  Other asset classes fell enough to keep the gold+silver class from getting a clear buy signal.  I see futures are down bigtime this morning.  Oh well, maybe in a few weeks Krypto can re-buy what she sold on Friday.

Obey the machine ....

MF Global

$700 million is missing.  The hedge fund industry gets another black eye.  Corzine seems to have been a power hungry, greedy knave.  First he did  nothing to help the people of New jersey as both a Senator and Governor.  Now he blows up a formerly fine firm and was captain of a ship while its hold was looted.  He's certainly Knave of the Month.

Word of the Day

"Rococo" - adjective [$10]
Rococo means excessively ornate or intricate.
Sentence:  Much art and decor from the era of Louis XV exhibits the rococo style; one can see this clearly in many rooms of the Frick Museum at the corner of Fifth Avenue and east 70th street in New York City.

should Greece be kicked out of the EU Bman ??

Bunkerman said...

No, but let it default.

How can a union kick out a member for screwing up? Just let them default.

The US cannot kick out a state.

If the people don't want "auterity" let them find someone else to lend them money.

The government's payroll checks will bounce.

I guess Jon Corzine will go down as the poster pig for a Wall Street hog.

Bunkerman said...

It fits that he was a liberal in DC - loves risking and spending OPM.

I admit I'd like to see him in a perp walk.
