those sucking wind on their leveraged MBS portfolios or Japanese
Small-Cap Value Funds,……

- Crazy Random Thought
-
Given that the stimulus checks have mostly flowed through the system, into people’s gas tanks and back to the Middle East, AND that consumers are still hurting, it would be interesting to see what impact is had by the delay. I mean, how much time did those checks buy?It would be interesting if the real contraction, put off by the stimulus package, starts close enough (but before) the November election to have an impact on the outcome. Will energy markets have calmed down enough by then to reduce the possible pain on the McCain camp (by virtue of his association, however loose, with the sitting President)? Will the run-up to winter combined with increasing unemployment, leading up to the election, favor Obama? Where is the Black Swan?…

- Apologies
-
I have to apologize to all of the readers of this blog. My connectivity at home has been crappy for the past few weeks, and I haven’t had time to troubleshoot it. Considering that I am moving out of my current residence by the end of the month, it really hasn’t been high on the priority list to do so. Finding connectivity outside of the home is also troublesome because I’m often on the move and for some reason, in places where I don’t have connectivity or I’m not staying long enough to utilize it….
