Administrative Note

Mock the Market will need to take a brief hiatus to resolve some scheduling conflicts (i.e. one-week-old baby keeping me up at night, causing lack of motivation to blog at the crack of dawn.) I will make a sincere effort to blog sporadically about issues that are key to understanding the markets, the economy, or just plain worthy of mockery. But if I wake up in the morning and the front page headline of the day is "Bernanke says low rates [which he controlled] didn't cause the housing bubble, lax regulation did [which he was also responsible for]," then I'm going back to bed. Happy New Year everyone!
