Here are the interesting stories I've been reading last night and this morning:

Record number of Americans are pulling from their retirement (hardship exemptions and the like) - Zero Hedge via Reformed Broker

Wall Street Firms are Firing again - WSJ - When the firms that generate the research are cutting staff, that can't be a good sign. Also, beware of the possibility of banks being operationally bearish but pedalling bullish research.

Nice, gloomy outlook from the WSJ Europe this morning (which I read on the tube every morning, if you wonder)

Gold as Currency more than Commodity - WSJ - H/T Big Picture - I've heard it before. Gold is different. But its really its own category, so lets stop putting the square peg in the round hole.

Long article in the NYT about PR missteps so far this year รก la Toyota, Goldman, BP and LeBron.
