A few readers have asked me for a list of my favourite bloggers. I have posted on a few (eg. The Big Picture, Zero Hedge, etc.). Another of my favourites is London-based "Macro Man" (macro-man.blogspot.ca). It is run by a group of anonymous traders who post daily thoughts on the markets. Often it is quite technical, but it is interspersed with comic relief - like this last post on "How Banks See Each Other."
And, Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" re-characterized to the Europe crisis ("Friday Questions" - Click here to read full post).
The Ring - the Euro
Sauron - Weidmann
Saruman - Scheuble
Mordor - Germany
Mount Doom - Bundesbank
The Nazgul - Bond Vigilantes
Gollum - Greece
Gandalf - Draghi
Frodo - European Economy
Bilbo Baggins - Trichet
Gimli - Merkle
Pippin - Hollande
