The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
Note to Paid Subscribers: As part of my never-ending quest to improve the Mad Hedge service, I am launching a new daily product called The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today (and what to do about them).

5) Will the Market Care About the 10-Year Anniversary of the 2008 Crash? Expect a lot of recriminations and navel gazing. Time to review those risk controls. Click here for more.
