I was very surprised to see the "IPO of a lifetime" force a bid from the syndicate twice.

CNBC was amusing earlier in the week. They shit all over Apple on the expectation that Facebook would be their new darling. Will they go back to cheerleading a cash machine like Apple, or make another attempt to pump Facebook?

Most markets looked a little wonky this week. The EMs are a bloodbath and Europe is trading like the end of the world (albeit, somewhat stable this week, all things considered).

Credit turned ugly after supply entered the market early in the week. The whole complex looks like shit. I think my coverage was confused as well. Some of the them were telling me that spreads are going to gape wide early next week (don't trade until then). Others told me some dinosaurs were buying hard today (strange, since I feel like liquidity was fucking terrible the last couple of days). I hope the Street remembers to send the pension managers cigarettes now that they have finished fucking them for a few days.

IG definitely outperformed HY, EU problems continue to escalate and the most hyped IPO was a dud. I would be terrified holding any longs over this weekend.
