Ten Things I'm Thankful For

It's Thanksgiving today, which means heavily impaired liquidity and, thus far, large price swings. Before Macro Man starts to "cook" Thanksgiving dinner (i.e., put cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 turkey on cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 barbecue to roast while Mrs. Macro does everything else), he has time to once again count his blessings after what has been anocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r eventful year:

1) First, and most importantly, that Mrs. Macro and cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 Macro Boys are healthy and happy.

2) That it was he, racá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r than cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365y, that suffered a serious knee injury while skiing in February.

3) That he works in an industry that provides intellectual stimulation, indulges his competitive instincts, and offers plenty of fodder for his satiric side.

4) That just about everyone he knows from Lehman (hint: none of cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365m were assemblers, traders, or sellers of packaged turds) has landed on cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365ir feet.

5) That despite being wrong in his big picture views for what seems like forever, Macro Man has managed to scratch out a bit of P/L this year.

6) That he has an open enough mind to hedge his bets and change his behaviour when he is wrong, even if cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 view is unchanged.

7) That his firm has a) been so supportive of his injury rehab efforts, and b) managed to cobble togecá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r anocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r good year

8) That he has not taken a dime, directly or indirectly, from any taxpayers....

9) That he was not in any way invested in cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 December 2009 bonds of Nakheel, which have plunged over cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 last 24 hours on a restructuring announcement. They're currently trading around 70; a 40 point drop 3 weeks before cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 supposed maturity has gotta hurt...
10) That this space continues to attract a frankly baffling number of readers and a high calibre of interaction with ocá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365r market punters and observers. Thanks for reading....

....and best of luck for cá cược thể thao bet365_cách nạp tiền vào bet365_ đăng ký bet365 remainder of 2009.
