Weekend Reads

It’s the Friday before Memorial day, and things are rather dead in our corner of the world. Of course, we’re sort of workaholics, so we’re busy preparing the next sensational piece for publication, but we’re sure that most folks are already launching into their holiday. As we said earlier today, the office will be closed on Monday, so enjoy your long weekend, grill out if you can, and keep yourself entertained with this batch of weekend reads until we meet again…

  • Copper as collateral game over in China? (FTAlphaville)
  • Mind games, lessons for the irrational investor (Smart Money)
  • Hedge Funds, shorting stocks help Smith college beat Harvard (Bloomberg)
