In addition, Rogers went on to say he was long the U.S. dollar. “The only reason I’m long…is because everybody in the world, including me, has been terribly pessimistic. And whenever that happens you should take the other side of the trade.

People were somewhat outraged, to say the least. But! That was prior to hearing all of Marty’s side of the story. Continue reading »
Reuters reports that Ireland’s parliament has approved the 85 billion euro bailout, by a vote of 81 to 75.
