Unidentified Trading Wound

Gathering my thoughts about the state of the world this evening I noticed an injury on the outer knuckles of my right hand. Nothing serious, just a scraping and contusion that could have happened anywhere. Except I haven't been anywhere except the office...



The only conclusion I can come to is that since I am currently sitting to the left of Trywalker, and since he is the only person left in striking distance this week, I must have inadvertently lashed out at him once or twice, during a bout of Clear Market Turbulence. Sorry, mate.

Despite the knuckle injury, I still managed to calculate a 1-month forecast for EUR/ISK...

Thank goodness for that DP. There's nothing worse than over-thawed frozen prawns...

I once over-thawed frozen prawns in the microwave, they ended up sort of cooked. That was a nice bonus, the botulism... not so much

You just made valid the very common statement of these days... The financial world is OUT OF CONTROL ;-))

@lazy - I think they are recruiting for the next series of Masterchef. Worth a thought...

@Stefania - It is, in fact, out of control. The governments of the world are resorting to plan Z, which is to nationalise everything. Financial markets and socialism are not the friendliest of bed-partners. I'm running to the hills!

@Snowy - an astute observation for a tired old plaything. However, there are plenty of digits on there. I have a rule of thumb that anything over 9 is basically someone else's problem.
