Juggling Dynamite

As the press builds up the second coming of Janet at Jackson Hole today (“The Oracle speaks at 10!!). The ECB’s Draghi will be layin’ it all down at 2:30! Stay tuned.  What will the great magicians propose next.

A client sent me this link today to a Vera Lynn song he remembers as popular after World War II. For me the song expresses a rather eerily naive sentiment for after the war, and for our present times as well. Here is a direct audio link.

Meanwhile the fruit of central bank handiwork: serial asset bubbles, massive malinvestment, destructive capital incentives and ominous systemic risk continue to rot the global economy from the inside out.

But I know, let’s not let facts get in the way today…All eyes on Janet.
 

Khan Academy is on a mission to unlock the world’s potential. Most people think their intelligence is fixed. The science says it’s not. Here is a direct video link.

Thanks to a reader for sending me a link to these cute Preschool Bubble Songs, that seem so perfectly applicable to our present times:

Bubbles Everywhere

Bubbles, bubbles everywhere,
Gently flowing through the air,
Bouncing around without a care,
Bubbles, bubbles everywhere.

Bubbles in the Air

Bubbles, bubbles up in the air,
Bubbles, bubbles you’re everywhere;
Bubbles, bubbles happy are you,
Bubbles, bubbles we are happy too!

The Bubble Song

One little, two little, three little bubbles,
Four little, Five little, Six little bubbles,
Seven little, Eight little, Nine little bubbles,
Ten little bubbles go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop,
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles,
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles,
Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles,
Ten little bubbles go pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
