Armed only with an analytical mind and the ability to speak in metaphors, I attempt to explain the events of the day as I view them through the magic glasses my parents gave me over 50 years ago. Regards, Slim

WSJ: TO Condo's Booming. Never mind the potential bursting of a potential bubble. Look at the uglification of a beautiful city.

If you think a cubicle is so sad...WSJ: Global Finance. UBS Connecticut. See photo of the "work floor" Now that is so sad...

A Library on Qaddafi's Compound was destroyed by NATO strike. Okay, now I'm acrimonious.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
TURKEY BANKROLLING LIBYAN REBELS. I told you Turkey is a major influence in the region. But don't listen to me.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
DO ANY OF THE EUROCRATS HAVE A PLAN THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE PREDICTING GROWTH & EXPRESSING DISAPPOINTMENT?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Is exposing other nations taxpayers to risk going to cause interest rates on their own bonds to rise? Will investors want to invest?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
If everyone wants a cash collateral deal, will they be using the cash collateral as part of the bailout fund?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
If Greece hangs on 2 the cash collateral, wouldn't they need a smaller loan & thus have 2 pay less interest. Or is the bailout no-interest?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Let me see. If Greece gives cash collateral for a loan, wouldn't that increase the difficulty of repaying the loan?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
IMF Opposes Cash Collateral deal between Greece & Finland. Other countries respond: Me too! Me too!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
If I sit around sharing personal opinions and idle conjectures based on factoids published in the news, can I be an expert too?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
A Report from ZEW said that expectations slumped.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
An Economist said that a near stagnation in Germany is worrying.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
German Economy Cools!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
I have a new strategy for the EuroCrats. Next time you come up with a plan...read it out loud. Hear how it sounds. Then think it through!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
EuroCrats New Plan. Non-Cash Collateral for Greek Bailout. Then what? If something goes wrong, you own buildings you can't sell or rent?


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
INVESTMENT TIP: GO TO THE TRACK. BET ON THE LONG SHOT. I PREDICT THAT BAD TRACK RECORD WILL RESULT IN A WIN.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
France's RICHEST Call for Taxes on the Rich. The Richest Don't want the Rich 2 Get Richer. I understand that. It makes the RICHEST look bad


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Earthquake shakes US from Florida to Maine. Everyone felt it except me. Am I too focused on this internet stuff. I even missed the tweets.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Why bother memorising the times tables. That only stifles creativity. If you want to know something, simply ask one of the Chinese students.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
CHINA NOW WORLDS LARGEST PC MARKET. Not only will Chinese students do better in math, they will do it faster. "Daytime math, anyone?"

UBS Cutting Jobs @ investment bank. Seems like yesterday everyone was relying on Switzerland 2 help offset the...wait.....it was yesterday.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Moody's Lowers Ratings in Japan. Watch out S&P You have competition. Quick, lower somebody's ratings--remain competitive, relevant. Slim


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Growth Slows in EuroZone. Why don't the analysts just predict higher growth. Interest rates will fall, lending increases, all will be well.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Slim Prediction: RealityTV 2012. RepoGov. EuroCrats try repossessing furniture at Greek Parliament. Tie in 2 Jersey Shore. Snooki in Greece.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: EuroCrats must have read my blog. They are not demanding cash collateral for loans. [Really?] Now they want non-cash assets. RME!


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
Meanwhile, manufacturing, the fuel of the economic engines, is down due to bleak outlook. I don't make this stuff up, folks. Read the WSJ:


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
WSJ: Markets up because economy gets worse. Investors are optimistic that if economy gets worse, someone will jump in to make it better.


Slimfairview Slim Fairview
When everyone around you feels the earthquake and you don't, does that mean you are too focused on what you're doing? Slim




Sincerest regards,


Slim
