May you live in interesting times, goes the blessing/curse. And one thing I think we can all agree on, for better or worse, is that dull days are few and far between in 2011.
Just another typical, ho-hum week: The long-term sovereign debt of the United States gets its first-ever downgrade. The stock market goes on a stomach-churning roller-coaster ride. Massive riots break out (and break in) in London. “Double dip” starts being read on a lot of lips. And oh, just in case the tussle for Transatlantic wasn't tumultuous enough with two suitors, Warren Buffett throws his (plain and unpretentious) hat in the ring.
Yawn.
