18th Mar - US Close: Made the Hedge


An article of mine just 'made the hedge' - was featured on Zero Hedge. Wooo!

I just updated the "Cyprus Special". Next stop will be the FOMC (Tue-Wed), although the minutes from the meeting (to be released later) are probably of greater interest than the press statement on Wed.

This House Has No Confidence In Olli Rehn, Nor Anyone ElseA Fistful of Euros
But isn’t this a bit, you know, 2008? If there was any point to the policy of the European powers-that-be, surely it was that this stuff was meant to be over? Instead, we are landed with a sort of permanent state of emergency. Why isn’t anybody sorry? Why isn’t anybody responsible?

The time inconsistency of austerity politicsThe Current Moment
A policy framework dedicated towards the curtailment of expansionary policies has given us a European continent saddled with debt and a global debt crisis. There is something more to this than the theory of the time inconsistency of optimal policy rules.

Cyprus - be cautious, but don't panic. It's not the first "surprise" from the EMU leadership, and probably not the last.
