Freaky Friday

A difficult week is at an end. One good piece of news is that Lehmans Japan ops may be taken over by Barclays.  The bartender at Heartland breathes a deep sigh of relief.

The huge swings in the market this week probably more attributable to the lack of clarity than meaningful events.  We've seen this rallies before, and few believe in them.  It is good to see the govt willing to step up to the plate and if we see any longer rally, I think it will be due to more of this rather than any improvement in conditions.

A fairly good end to a miserable week.  Off to the gym tomorrow.
