Weekend Reads

It’s Friday, which means it’s time for our weekend reads to go out. Before we get to the good stuff, let’s think about what happened this week. Republican candidates duked it out once more in a televised debate, and Christie threw his support over to Romney. The European soap opera continued to toy with the markets, and while stocks finished up on positive sales numbers and a glimmer of hope for resolution across the pond, it ain’t over ’till the fat lady sings. In the meantime, occupations inspired by the Wall Street occupation have sprung up- not just across the nation- but across the world. It’s more of the same uncertainty, but you can be sure that these reads are worth a look:

  • Currency interventions impacting Fed custody holdings (Reuters)
  • Josh Brown on the idiocy of being all-in or all-out (Reformed Broker)
  • Bill Gross and the Operation Twist Bet (Financial Times)
  • VIX down most in 19 Years (Bloomberg)
Just for fun…
  • Nerdy stick-figure comics. Who doesn’t love them? (XKCD)
