Europe.... especially European bankers, politicians, governmental employees, especially all those in Brussells at the ECU..... basically take August off and it quite civilized for us to spend time with family, children, friends in a covivial vacation like environment..... the all consuming focus on money is a misbegotten waste of one's valuable life....... time is what makes up life. Now, we'll see the markets in a "rock and roll for free for all in sept." John

Art Cashin-- A Threat By Moody's Sends Stocks To New Highs – Lewis Carroll would have loved it. Moody's threatened to lower the credit rating of the United States of America. The Speaker of the House responded that in the face of the fiscal cliff, the two parties running the nation would likely imitate Thelma and Louise. That combination sent the dollar down and took treasuries with it. In the long ago days of orthodox economics that might have spooked stocks and other markets. Yesterday, however, the fall in the dollar (and resultant rise in the Euro) caused a rally on both sides of the pond. It also firmed up oil, gold and a variety of other assets.” On the debt topic the attached video is very clear and concise. We have a very definite lack of leadership in Washington. Perhaps the election will give us a new opportunity. We will be receiving our mail-in ballots in less than 25 days. http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/EW5IdwltaAc?rel=0
