Mark Haines

 For those junkies on the financial markets we lost a very good interpreter when Mark Haines died yesterday.  Haines has a good sense of both humor and perspective.  He never seemed to be particularly excited about investment fashions or political rhetoric (as evidenced in this video clip).   He was unique.  Our loss is that there are very few who have that level of journalistic responsibility on the airwaves and the intelligence to interpret developments as well as he did.
