By the way

Seems like the it is going to be another tough year for investors...

By the way I enjoy watching CNBC Africa. Maybe it has something to do with the different times zones, now I get to see when the markets are opening/closing in the US (also a big factor must be the fact that I'm at home most of the morning and evenings!)

I do not really care what happens in the US but the energy of the presenters has to be admired - maybe it's just me!
Back to the market news: First the German Billionnaire Adolf Merckle committed suicide - jumped in front of a moving train

In India Santyam is in trouble after its CEO confessed to massaging the figures
Of course and the big news from the US - ponzi schemes run by Madoff - the man was good - and all along he fooled analysts or even auditors - this is an outrage! So exactly who do we trust?

I kid you not it is hard to sleep at night, what next?

Yeah I know I'm a boring guy but you have got agree with me we need more energy in our newsrooms. Tired of people seating in front of me looking pretty I need action. And the daily polls - so predictable does anyone really have so much credit to text their responses?

Bonne Week end!
