Anyone going anywhere for the 3 day weekend?
I’m off to the beach — and I love this video from (of all places) Hungary, done by a group of dog trainers:

"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher
Knowing that the vote over the weekend in Greece was really a referendum on Euro membership, a majority of the Greek Parliament said yes to staying. European Finance Ministers meet again on Wednesday to solidify the 2nd bailout package for Greece at the same time hopefully a deal is consummated between Greece and its creditors this week. The Greek 14.5b euro bond that matures on March 20th is up by 2 pts. The optimism that all will be completed and contained AGAIN to Greece has yields lower in Portugal, Spain and Italy. The iTraxx Financial Index is also narrower by...

BR: THE BEACH is the PLACE THAT RESTORES ONE’s SOUL!
That’s why what’s happening in the GULF is so dreadful.
But, I remember the LI Beaches from years past when I lived up there…and best wishes to You and Yours for a wonderful weekend …getting away from it all!

We have a small place in Virginia Beach.
It will be jam packed, but the beaches are great, my brother has a boat on the river, and the full brood will be there.

Very good!

pretty sad looking beach- ok for dogs I guess- but Hungary being landlocked and all- what kind of beach could you hope for?
full disclosure- Budapest is a kick ass city- huge and sprawling by the way- so nothing against Hungary per se

Hey Barry,
Locked in basement studying for CFA L3. I’m sure some other readers are up to the same. Enjoy the beach!
For anyone else working on exam, good luck!
By the way, this sucks!

Already there! Out in the desert baby!
Ahab – Budapest is a very cool city! I was surprised at all the trees.

It must be nice to be able to celebrate a three day weekend like you yanks can….oh wait! We just had one ;)
We could always use another!
You know you love what you do when you can’t wait for a three day weekend to end so you can get back to your work. I don’t feel that way about my regular job but I do about trading. That extra day off without the markets sure seems like a dead day to me when it happens.
Anyway, enjoy your holidays folks.
Here is something to think about this weekend:

Well Barry you deserve a 3 day weekend!
According to Paul Farrell over at Marketwatch we are headed for a big crash brought on trifecta of problems that have 800 years of data to back them up! Wonder what your readers and your thoughts are on this think-piece by Farrell?

If you enjoy worrying here is something for you; the ECRI is rapidly falling and M3(www.shadowstats.com) is negative yr/yr. In the past this indicates a recession is near or we are in one now.

forget the worry this weekend, heading upstate to our cabin in our new 2010 427 rousch mustang. What the hell, probably won’t be able to retire when we thought, so enjoy it now. The world’s going to shit anyway. 80mph coming out of second going into third. I feel like I’m 16 all over again !!!
