On your second point, the importance of looking at the investment banking write downs did occur to me. Firstly, it was slightly outside the scope of this post. Secondly, I was actually thinking that a post of that kind would be slightly better suited to the theme of your blog. Although, I am happy to write the article and have you link to me if you like.

Firstly, nice article... I never imagined it would have ended with such clear indicators of a recession as a cab rank queue. Secondly, I think it may be worth going through the actual economics and monetary flow behind citigroup or UBS writing down billions. Where does it all go? If someone is losing, who is profiting ? How did they arrive in such a shocking positon? I may beat you to blogging about this and i think it is particularly interesting how some of the smartest investment bankers and capital investors around got it so wrong. www.jamescox.com.au Few points….
