Stock Markets: What A Day!

That was fifteen minutes before the Closing Bell:

Chart3

We need much more money to be bumped pumped into the economy! Otherwise, we will have a double-dip recession.

Our Weekly Postcard (CXI)

Two Three recreational days ahead of us after a hard week at work. Weather forecast and radar for Switzerland: Cloudy, and that’s good because we will stay at home instead of going for a swim in Lake Zurich. So we will have some time for a glimpse or two into the Internet.

Have a good Friday and weekend!

Front Side:

The front page of Spanish newspaper Diario de Sevilla (from Jueves = Thursday, fifth fourth day of the week). Some recreational days ahead also for First Lady Michelle Obama and her nine-year-old daughter Sasha. They have just arrived in Spain for a brief holiday.

breakingtravelnews writes that Michelle Obama and her guests were paying for their own rooms, with rates beginning at $434 per night. Only the Secret Service and other staff stay at United States taxpayer expense.

That’s fair, I think.

Dear Dog Lovers – It was in 1873 that…

Dog… here in the dark and dank Kesslerloch cave in northern Switzerland (picture from Wikipedia):

Kesslerloch

… some ol’ bones were found. At that time, nobody knew what was going on — but now the truth came out:

Those ol’ bones are quite likely the oldest known remains of man’s best friend.

The Kesslerloch cave is not much more than just at a stone’s throw away from the Paperholic office. I am pretty sure that there are more interesting archaeological finds to be made, and in the next days I will order some shovels and gumboots.

Indeed, thrilling days ahead. So stay tuned, pls, I will inform you of any progress in this matter as soon as possible.

Thanks for your attention!

Österreich / Haider-Konten: Update

[Paperholic: Österreich / Haider-Konten: Hat Gerry die Millionen?, 2. August]

Sicher ist: Es ist gerade Winter in Südamerika… Alles andere wirkt noch reichlich spekulativ, schrieben wir gestern…

… und gestern Mittag dementierte die Staatsanwaltschaft in Vaduz, dass Belege über hohe Vermögenswerte des verstorbenen Jörg Haider im Fürstentum entdeckt wurden.

Die Presse, Wien: Haider-Skandal oder Medienente? (2. August)

Abends dann hat die Krone.at nochmals tüchtig nachgelegt, nachdem ihre Kärtner Filiale von einer neuen Spur erreicht worden war, die diesmal in die Schweiz führt:

Haider-Millionen: Schweiz statt Liechtenstein?

PS: Auch in England wurde über die (neue) Causa Haider berichtet. Zum Beispiel von Mail Online, wo Allan Hall, Berlin, gestern schrieb:

More than £40million in undeclared cash belonging to Austria’s late far-Right leader Joerg Haider has been found in the secretive European principality of Liechtenstein. – The money, in euros, was discovered in accounts uncovered by investigators from Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

Mehr als 40 Millionen Pfund (in Euro), nicht deklariert und Haider gehörend, sind auf Konten im verschwiegenen Fürstentum Liechtenstein von Ermittlern aus Österreich, der Schweiz und Deutschland gefunden worden…

Na servus..! Der Herr Journalist hat nicht einmal den profil-Artikel verstanden.

Bleibt die Frage: Haider-Skandal oder Medienente? Provisorische Antwort: Medien-Skandal.
