The Dow is a root vegetable

Nothing that has happened in the last few weeks has done anything to change my mind on this … pet theory, offered only half in jest: markets should only be reported once a month. Thus: “The Dow went up and down on an almost hourly basis over the past month, the net result has been a slight decline. And now, in sport … ” And we should all walk more. Probably plant a small orchard, and certainly grow our own vegetables. Developing a touch for watercolours would be good. And there you will be, painting under a tree nibbling your own carrot. Oblivious. And never mind the markets.

Don’t panic, we’re well placed

With the US bailout sitting in pieces on the floor of the House, now they’re talking about the US Fed taking an equity stake in leading banks. free market capitalism? Last week’s idea already. Lets nationalise the banks. Help. Australia. Got to have the Australian angle, how else could we digest this moment? “We are well placed” some spotty Herbert in a thick f-ck you tie is saying on Sky business. Buy CSR and Cochlear. They’re talking about the fatal wounding of the world’s largest economy and we’re well placed. Whatever can that mean?
