Greece, Inflation, Deflation, Austria, Declining access to credit for consumers, Regional bank commercial loan liabilities, Foreclosures, Dubai, Dubai World, Meredith Whitney, Next shoes to fall, CIT, Iran's nuclear ambitions, Ireland, Bank stock dilution, Swine flu, The great AIG robbery, California's insolvency, Swiss banks that enable US tax evasion, Unemployment, China's make believe economic data, The Goldmantocracy, Commercial mortgage backed securities.

We've replaced these minor concerns with the following preoccupations:

You know what they say about Americans and their attention spans...wait, what was I talking about?
