Large swings in currency–etc. are a symptom of a financial system in disarray.

I saw your blog mentioned in the WSJ and I checked it out and am very impressed. The blog speaks very intelligently on current news items. Very nice.

In terms of the G-20 meeting, it seems different countries will have some different agendas in terms of the info they can pull from the US. I’m sure many want to get as much info as they can about the possibility of a second US stim package — as other countries (as you mentioned) have moved forward with their own.

Do you think this meeting could result in another global initiative to lower rates? Speculation has grown with Bernanke’s comments this morning.

Great blog,

Tim Manni
