The Reverence Episode. The Alchemist @writes_sweeney finds himself exalting at the triple religious whammy of Easter, Passover and Ramadan. But it's Franz Kafka that holds sway. The messiah will come only when he is no longer necessary; he will come only on the day after his arrival. The  Acid Capitalist  proclaims that the mysticism demanded to see the future for risk assets demands that you listen to those pursuing deviant pathways.

Could the same thing be playing out again with the dollar? Will the touch  point be a renminbi devaluation? Ruminations and distant rumblings are laid bare. 
The Alchemist has discovered Libya. Has he dropped some acid? The Capitalist adopts the Ringo Star note of diffidence when pressured to film the Let it Be album there.
