Postcards: Score ONE for the Good Guys

From a practice field somewhere in central Maryland, we breakdown an important decision by the SEC and the future of markets.

Market Update: We’ve had two days of gains and hope to see greater developments. However, I feel very nervous about China’s deflationary problems and continued weakness across the energy sector. It's still red across the board.

Dear Fellow Expat:

The Red Roses didn’t debut well in the Under 7 category. Amelia let up two goals and committed a penalty by picking up the ball outside the box. As I said, four goals were scored by the Black Ringers… with a mysterious No. 8 who looked like she might be Wayne Rooney’s daughter. That girl scored three goals.

There was a mercy goal at the end - with the young opposing goalie getting distracted by her parents behind the goal. After the first game of the year, the league issued a series of warnings against parents.

No coaching from the sidelines.

No sitting on the side of the coaches.

And NO PARENTS behind the goals.
