Hello everyone,
under the first link, you'll find an article about Cyprus "bail-in" strategy. I have considered this article important from the prospect of international economy, since the future of eurozone is (as author asserts) at stake.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment/liamhalligan/9963272/Bail-in-that-throws-the-euros-future-into-doubt.html
Please try to look into this questions:
What is "bail-in"? How does it differ from bail-out?
Germany's role in keeping Eurozone/Europe together? Is there anything as anti-German sentiment taking place?
Is there anything that Europe can learn from US approach of tackling recession and vice-versa?
SECOND link leads to a Economist blog post about differences in inflation indexes, showing that not every statistics presented by Federal reserve is right.

THIRD article deals with S&P 500 and Dow record high closing, subsequent fall and the reason behind it. Would check your stocks in asset tracking, if they were affected too ;)
