Trichet, ECB Missing the Point with Crude

Wrong. The Euro's over-valued vs. the dollar. It's not about the ECM playing second fiddle to the Fed, it's about global financial stability. The Fed's done with rate cuts. Fine. Good. Everyone and their grandmother is now a freakin' expert in macroeconomics. Inflation is a problem. Got it.

But Tricky raising rates here doesn't "protect" the Europeans if the dollar gets screwed. Everyone suffers in that environment. Oh, wait, you believe in decoupling. Right.

Ambac Does It Again

Just started visiting this site, so I can't speak to your previous pieces or the reaction to them, and as a former options trader I'm not that well-versed in financial analysis so maybe I'm missing something, but I liked the post. As a writer myself, I have no idea why people would find your writing style irksome. (You don't use words like "irregardless," do you?) I found your style perfectly enjoyable.

Keep sticking to your guns and don't let the slobbering masses get you down.
