Market Correlation

Some analysts set about crunchin'
A proven statistical function
For why stocks and debt,
Which used to offset,
More recently move in conjunction.

At the end of it all they succeeded,
Having crunched all the data they needed,
Finding no other fact
So truthfully tracked
As expected expanse of QE did.

The Times Catch Up with Mr. Hugh

A Cassandra, alone and aloof,
Said: "The Euro is done - here's the proof:
Cold logic determines
The Greeks and the Germans
Can't cohabit under one roof."  

Thanks to Edward Hugh for his unwavering grip on reality.

Analytical, or Just Political?

That the macro-political element
'S where economists' work is most relevant,
May explain their proclivity
To drop objectivity
And run with the Donkey or Elephant.

(In answer to Sam Costanzo's lament.)
