The World Beast

We had a bit of a mortgage problem here in the States back in ‘08. As a result, Iceland imploded. What? This week we witness China’s output slowing to just a mini explosion from a full-blown explosion, and crude drops off the screens. Last Thursday US Claims blew through expectations (more claimants) and next day a dozen currency traders in Japan go out the window.

Holy cow!

The world markets - one big, throbbing organism, connected by nerve, muscle and fiber, a colossal beast which quivers, jumps, turns summer salts and mashes anything in its way.

And what insight can we fetch from all of this? Easy. Never take the markets or yourself too seriously; remember that a little levity goes a long way.

And always - our motto - Keep It Simple.
