As Dubai World Turns


Try not to get worried, try not to turn onto problems that upset you, oh, don't you know everything's alright, yes, everything's fine and I think I shall sleep well tonight let Dubai World turn without me tonight close your eyes, close your eyes and forget not about US (UltraShort) tonight...
Alright! So, this is how it will be, then. One day wondering when another Jamie Dimon, "unforeseen" problem might arise, and the next day...
Oh boy. Well, let's see just how long Team Fraud can go without stabbing each other in the back while the fraternity of less penetrating players works its winking and smiling routine wrapped in good holiday cheer, trying to sustain today's insolvency masquerade ball through the end of the year. Timing might not be everything, but with the specter of runs on sovereign debt now raised, it is only a matter of time before bigger fish in the sea of nations whose remaining wealth has been used in pathetic attempt at filling a bottomless pit become the next meal for an enterprise whose bankruptcy only grows more consuming. Expect the unexpected when ever-bigger fish are threatened with extinction. So, then, with this year's sweet gains at greater risk of evaporating, might not this be an opportune time for a stampede toward the exits? This possibility seems all the more heightened, indeed, given the fact that, the wisdom of reducing risk exposure and taking profits has entered the realm of public knowledge. Thus, remarks made here back in October claiming 2009 could finish negative versus 2008, even were top to the counter-trend rally off March bottom not registered until December 4th, remain entirely credible (much as would have been the case even without the collapse of Dubai World)...
