Bloglock

It happens periodically. The posts just stop flowing. It began this time with a sense that there was little to comment on about the markets beyond what had already been said here. The dollar's weakness was being ignored. Why comment on the short term when the long term is being trashed. Then came a heightened level of activity around here with a fourteen year old daughter's birthday, or birth week it seemed, an event worth celebrating, and celebrating. That was followed with a stunning announcement by an elderly parent that is still in the process of being finessed or accepted. And so , gradually, the ante was being raised day by day. No ordinary post about the market's daily volatility or the political event or miscue of the day would work. A new post would need to be consequential. That was the thought. The result was the dreaded bloglock.

Will it soon be broken?
