クリスマス・ソング(8)

ユーロの債務問題のカギを握るのはドイツですが、そのドイツのメルケル首相でさえ、次のようにコメントしています。
 「メルケル独首相:欧州債務危機を一挙に解決する『ビッグバン』はない」(出所:Bloomberg)
 来週は、週末にクリスマスを控えているため、「クリスマス休暇」に入る欧米の市場参加者が一段と増えて、市場の流動性はさらに低下します。そのために、年末にかけて、さすがに市場の混乱は沈静化するだろうというコメントも見受けられます。

<欧州問題まったなしで、クリスマスも注意!ユーロは年初来安値を更新して1.1ドルへ|西原宏一の「ヘッジファンドの思惑」 – ザイFX! より一部引用>

市況が実体経済を反映していたのはヘッジファンド以前のことでしょうね。
日本も来年・再来年はいよいよ正念場です。
去年の東証大納会(2010/12/30)の日経平均が10228円92銭。今年中にまた8000円割れかなんて話があって、米・欧・中・日が互いに足を引っ張り合ってる雰囲気です。

No, that’s not a label misprint…the words “a lot” were not part of the original copy-written song title. Composer/conductor/playwright/radio performer/TV producer Meredith Willson [sic] is today best-remembered by many for having written “The Music Man,” though he also penned a handful of stand-alone pop songs over the years. They included “You And I” “May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You” “I See The Moon” and this seasonal favorite, with Perry & the Fontanes performing the version that registered on the Billboard charts during the song’s 1951 debut year.
