Eye on the Market, June 14, 2011 (attached PDF is easier to read)
Market update: for better or worse, this is the kind of year we were expecting. We were surprised at the market’s
unbridled optimism in April*, since the tug-of-war between private sector profits and public sector problems has a long
way to go. We chose the charts on the front page of our 2011 Outlook carefully; they were designed to show that equity
markets were priced inexpensively, but were likely to stay that way, given too much stimulus in the East, and ineffective
stimulus in the West **. We expect a modest second half recovery, based primarily on US capital spending increases,
easy credit conditions everywhere, and a pick-up in industrial production in Japan. But the world’s structural problems
are weighing on the private sector, and our portfolios are positioned for a single-digit year in credit, equities and hedge
funds.
* The Osama Bin Laden episode marked the equity market peak. Some commentators saw this event as a basis for further optimism,
but unsurprisingly, the positive glow lasted for only around 2.5 hours the subsequent Monday. According to the Congressional
Research Service, over the last decade, the US has spent at least $1.1 trillion in war funding operations, surpassing the
constant-dollar cost of the Korean and Vietnam Wars combined. This highlights the disproportionately large pain that small,
non-sovereign entities can inflict in the modern era.
** So far, the large growth and employment multipliers from deficit spending estimated by Christina Romer (former Chair of the
President’s Council of Economic Advisers) have not materialized. John Taylor and John Cogan from Stanford have been closer to the
mark: an initial boost, but then a rapidly fading benefit

This is technically a pretty hefty spoiler, but you don't know the context, and it IS a romance story. Opted to wrap-up the week's snips with a little bang of flirty fun.

!["Welcome to private sector violence. That's your pay for the hours of the job."
Caoimhe had to stare harder for a beat. "This is a lot of money!" she squeaked, dropping her voice with her last tether of common sense. "I was doing this as a friend, why--!?"
"It's a lesson. You undervalue your skills. Now put it the fuck away before you get mugged."
Snapping to obedience just in her shock, Caoimhe stuffed the folded stack into one pocket that instant, and tried to tug her jacket a little more to hide it. It did nothing, but she felt better.
[S] paused, hiding her cash in a simple pocket of the pajama-pants she was wearing. Her instinct to assess if Caoimhe was hiding the money enough derailed in her own skull, because she was staring at the red-haired woman's hip. Her eyes quickly traveled down to the simple work boots, then back up to Caoimhe's confused, worried stare.
"What...?" Caoimhe whispered as her anxiety worsened.
[S] blinked, then just rotated to walk toward the tailor's door. "Nothing. Just sit tight for a bit."
Caoimhe stared, slowly turning to look after [S]'s awkward retreat. A flicker of a smile lit her face, her eyes squinting with playful suspicion. "Did... did you just check me out?"
She caught her. She actually caught her.
[S] froze mid-step. It dragged on too long to casually dismiss.
After that massive span, [S] jerked a 'glare' over her shoulder, which just exposed her now vibrantly red cheeks. She was so pale that even a mild blush would be visible from space. "I was making sure you didn't make the wad of cash too obvious, idiot!"
She rapidly scurried into the shop.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:g5fu2bzwnxvpj2tlbugvzgdf/bafkreig3ctozkvp3frerpdyat7f3l644lywloywmsrne523eycy4qesgbe@jpeg)

Moore is one of those guys that, as a fan, you look at and want to believe is a dude you can root for and the right fit for the job. And then you watch the actions and nervously tug on your collar a bit. Then he gets fired for *this*, and you're not happy he's out, but you're not not-happy about it.
