I was so....taken with the Stray Cats, at the time, more specifically, the new flavor they added. It was entirely different than its contemporaries, based in jazz but still pop. I suppose the Manhatten Transfer would be another band who might have influenced the Stray Cats. Or just most of the Broadway Live musicals then. Anyway thanks for a stroll down ol' memory lane. Ever read Belarmino and Apolonio? By Ramon Perez de Ayala. Found an English translation. A book written about a street, and some shoemakers. So good, I am reading it as slowly and as fast as possible.

Have not. I did though back some years ago read the Egyptian novel Midaq Alley set in Cairo. Very detailed and local in flavor

This must have an effect on market sentiment; what sort of shareholder would not feel nervous.

Germany has floundered in wake of the Euro as has Britain, made more of a morass by ass Boris. Reading This is not normal ...the collapse of liberal Britsin by William Davies at present ...p 145 2010 Blair confessed that " legislating for freedom of information was one of his biggest regrets"! So much for transparency...and remember Ardern worked for Blair.

When the next big crash will really come seems a matter more of political significance than of economic or financial import, actually. Before or after the election?

It's a crucial question. If after the election it could be a trap for Trump. Like the gambit that the British Labour leftists and Troy RIINOs used to destroy Liz Truss.

Yes maximum political value though I think the wisdom of crowds has more sway
