The most wide ranging view of the current market is at The Big Picture. What's best is the section trashing Goldman over their pathetic excuses to their hedge fund holders. I've always said that all the brainiacs went to the same schools, learned the same crap, came to the same conclusions (or else they flunked out) and for those reasons they are dangerous funds. I can speak from experience; we had an original fund with "secret" ingredients. We were killing the fucking market. Problem is that the secret is revealed in how the system trades. It wasn't six weeks that it seemed everyone had it. Anyway take a hike over there if you're interested. The best.
