Is this what they call a 'melt up' rally?

Geezo. What a bear meat grinder.

Want a Raise? Vote on it! The Swiss do.

What is funny is the "headlines" about the possible upcoming pressure on the SNB.

LISBON—Investors, economists and politicians are increasingly concerned that Portugal will need a second bailout as fears mount that it won't be able to return to markets for financing next year.

...Greece II. These little piggies are going to market...

While the Portuguese government's finances are covered this year as long as it abides by its bailout agreement, Portugal must regain full access to capital markets next year to help repay €9 billion ($11.64 billion) in debt coming due in September 2013.

@Bruce (& the WSJ)

You're about three steps behind with that...

It will be very difficult for Portugal to follow a Greek model due to the governing courts on seniorage...

Now the REAL question to ask is this... As it follows more towards "the core", who holds jurisdiction?

cv said...

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."

Somewhere... Someone is saying...

"If the valuations aren't misallocated now, well, we'll make them to be that way in a minute"...
