we haven't heard from Professor Chaos? read someone who believes the EU is actually in much better shape than the US/JPY. logic dictates that Euro/Dollar is parity is likely, as we all scratch each others back. buy each others bonds. and there is some narrative that Japan's lost decade is due to the fact that they fell on their sword and took one for the world. in other words the way to solve the EURO problem is to park all the bad assets in one bank, or one country if you get my drift, and then put them off balance sheet. call it the antichrist of ENRON style bookeeping, applied to the world at large, will Iran and North Korea buy all our toxic mortgage paper, in exchange for?? not being preemptively nuked?
And I see them in the streets And I see them in the field And I hear them shouting under my feet And I know it's got to be real Oh, Lord, deliver me All the wrong I've done You can deliver me, Lord I only wanted to have some fun.
Laugh out loud funny. The cover of Led Zepplin II would look great with your handiwork Mr. Banzai, what with the cast of characters posing under the exploding Euro Blimp.
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while I think I see my friends coming Riding many a mile
Friends, did you get some silver? Did you get a little gold? What did you bring me, my dear friends To keep me from the gallows pole? What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no silver - I couldn't get no gold You know that we're too damn poor To keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while I think I see my brother coming Riding many a mile
Brother, did you get me some silver? Did you get a little gold? What did you bring me, my brother To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver I brought a little gold I brought a little of everything To keep you from the gallows pole Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile I think I see my sister coming Riding many a mile, mile, mile
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand Take him to some shady bower Save me from the wrath of this man Please take him Save me from the wrath of this man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile Tell me that I'm free to ride Ride for many a mile, mile, mile
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister She warmed my blood from cold She brought my blood to boiling hot To keep you from the gallows pole
Your brother brought me silver Your sister warmed my soul But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the gallows pole But now I laugh and pull so hard And see you swinging on the gallows pole Swingin' on the gallows pole --
Defacto...

"...
And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the field
And I hear them shouting under my feet
And I know it's got to be real
Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I've done
You can deliver me, Lord
I only wanted to have some fun.

Helium, at least it floats or burns. Our hopium sits and stinks.
Ah, last time I checked, Helium was quite inert and did not burn. Now hydrogen is another story.
What Is and What Should Never Be...
Debt Zeppelin huh?
The words fit so well (I think): http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/ledzeppelin/stairwaytoheaven.html
And who doesn't like a little Zep in the morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q7Vr3yQYWQ
There's a Banksta who's sure all that his bonus is pure
And he's buying the Stairway to Bailout Heaven.
When he gets there he knows, if the doors are all closed
With a scheme he can get what he came for.
Ooh, ooh, and he's buying the Stairway to Bailout Heaven.
There's a sign at the corner of Wall read it close to be sure
'Cause you know opaque words have three meanings.
Getting fleeced by pinstriped crooks, there's a jailbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I wish to invest,
And I'm trying to avoid innovative thieving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke in the breeze,
And the voices of those taken by Ponzi scheming.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the Volcker tune
Then the piper will lead fear and greed to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who buy to hold long
And the markets will echo with laughter.
If there's a bust in your hedge, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the market queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the trade you're hooked on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The market piper's calling you to join him,
Well now laddy, can you hear the DOW blow, and did you know
Your bailout stairway lies on the whispering winds of greed and quant thieving.
And as we wind on down the mythical Alpha road
Our shadows taller than our NAV souls.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines transparent white light and wants to show
How every get rich quick scheme can never turn to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a market jock and not a fool.
And he's buying the Stairway to Bailout Heaven.
Your talent and wit continues to awe...
Bravo...

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my friends coming
Riding many a mile
Friends, did you get some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my dear friends
To keep me from the gallows pole?
What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?
I couldn't get no silver - I couldn't get no gold
You know that we're too damn poor
To keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while
I think I see my brother coming
Riding many a mile
Brother, did you get me some silver?
Did you get a little gold?
What did you bring me, my brother
To keep me from the gallows pole?
Brother, I brought you some silver
I brought a little gold
I brought a little of everything
To keep you from the gallows pole
Yes, I brought you to keep you from the gallows pole
Hangman, hangman, turn your head awhile
I think I see my sister coming
Riding many a mile, mile, mile
Sister, I implore you, take him by the hand
Take him to some shady bower
Save me from the wrath of this man
Please take him
Save me from the wrath of this man, man
Hangman, hangman, upon your face a smile
Tell me that I'm free to ride
Ride for many a mile, mile, mile
Oh, yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She brought my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole
Your brother brought me silver
Your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole
But now I laugh and pull so hard
And see you swinging on the gallows pole
Swingin' on the gallows pole --
Debt Zeppelin! Awesome. So perfect and yet such a low hanging fruit. Talk about what is and what should never be...
Why didn't I think of that!...going down like a lead balloon indeed.
There is such an abundance of apt analogies to the Euro/Greece situation alone:
How Many More Times
Achilles Last Stand
Communication Breakdown
Dazed & Confused
Ten Years Gone
When The Levee Breaks...
I recommend some of this with today's morning coffee. Or double the rock and roll majesty with this Eddie Cochran cover.
Alright, don't get me started!...back to work everybody!
Banzai you never cease to amaze me.
Oh, the insanity!
Is it me or is Merkel hot in the S & M gear?
Beat me, hurt me, make me print worthless fiat.
Uh, I think it must be you.
I second that. It's him.
