Video-o-rama: Financial markets in turmoil
So much has happened in the financial markets lately, prompting me to pre-empt the customary Sunday edition of the “Words from the Wise” post by sharing with you a number of video clips that have attracted my attention over the past few days. My apologies to those with equipment not geared to viewing this material, but I have attempted to include the written word where at all possible. Firstly, back to basics with a rudimentary explanation of the accounting side of the mess in which we find ourselves embroiled.

Next, a number of video clips from various market commentators on the lie of the land, kicking off with perennial bear (and friend) Nouriel Roubini.

Thanks for the attempt to provide a text alternative to the videos. I am surprized to see that Roubini actually looks normal in this picture. I wonder if the financial meltdown is making him feel better. However, Bernanke is beginning to look worn down — his beard seems greyer and longer.
