Eco-Summary for March 18, 2011

Aside from a very small ($1-2 Billion) TIPS POMO, today's list of manipulated statistics from our bureaucratic friends is blank.  So, unless one wishes to fight the G7, Federal Reserve, and OPM extraordinaire Bob Doll, our official recommendation is to turn off the Bloomberg, TradeStation, or preferred prime broker's dysfunctional trading platform and dust off the sticks.  Just remember, no mulligans on the first tee.  And, oh yeah, when you make the turn at lunch, be sure to enjoy an ice cold beer and an iPad.
