Don’t concern yourself with the bond market steadily pricing all of Europe out of survival. It’s fucking Christmas time, after all. The fact that the world’s largest combined economy is spiraling into recession should in no way interrupt your very important business of buying sweets and ham.
In the 9th floor, I’m not so optimistic and refuse to accept ambiguous explanations such as “global growth” to define the unprecedented divergences I’m seeing in the market, most especially crude oil.
Explain to me why the bid for crude oil has had intermittent volume spikes over the last week, resulting in 5%+ down moves over a matter of minutes? Explain to me how these stress fractures are not to be apprehensive about?
This weekend was very enjoyable for me. I usually do not like the calm quiet that happens on Saturday or Sunday, but with how things have been lately, I relished in the opportunity to spend time with my family and not listen to the noise that’s been cluttering my airwaves.
Mrs. Thaler and I cooked mint-marinated lamb, prepared a Mediterranean salad, and made grape leaves for our combined family on Saturday. Afterwards, I enjoyed a strong gin drink and laid out some plans with my loved ones.
It was all exquisite. And definitely much better than watching the market chop 10% semi-weekly and having traders not think anything of it.
Now I’m getting back to work. I’m sure the ECB will push the whole bond market back into negative yields by 1:45, as the euro rallies, just in time for a 2pm face-ripping rally. It’s so sensational, it’s almost boring.

I hear you, brother. Stay firm!
i’d kill,to taste my moms stuffed grape leaves again
I’m partial to them; I have no Mediterranean heritage, but they’re delicious.
I was surprised the first time I cooked them; I never figured leaves would take 3 hours to cook.
as a kid, we used to go picking leaves.she’d boil them ,then jar them,till she needed them. i love the cold ones that soak in oil. you can get those in a can now.the closest thing to hers. the real good ol days
We purchased the pre-packaged ones; soaking in oil and they were a huge pain to unravel.
talkin about the stuffed ones in a can.to die for.
Actually, I guess Italian is technically Mediterranean, but they don’t scarf don’t grape leaves like the Greeks or Lebanese do.

Mediterranean cabbage rolls!
my mom did those also…..it’s all armenian grub
Cain,
