    It's a "risk off" day for European financials (EUFN -3.4%), after Spain's expected bank bailout approval is accompanied by a weak GDP forecast. Unsurprisingly, Spanish banks are the biggest losers: SAN -7.7%. BBVA -8.4%. U.S. banks are only doing better by comparison (XLF -1.3%).

  • We've been overdue for some more hysteria related to Europe. The short-term traders were getting restless.

  • A mini-crash in Spain and Italy on Friday and no closing numbers in Market Currents?

  • For those that believe Ben Graham was a resourceful, bright, and a wonderfully efficient mind, EUFN's PE is approximately 12 with a book of approximately 0.80. EWP (Spain) is the absolute worst performing iShares issue at -28.4 YTD.

    Numbers as these jog my memory as to something on the order of, "Buy low (when extraordinarily unpopular)!"
