Justin's Commentary - So who is Frank Dodd?
Forget Frank Dodd, it is in fact Dodd Frank that we should remember. Chris Dodd is the chairman of the US Senate banking committee, and Barney Frank (who should be a cartoon character, surely) is chairman of the House (of Representatives) financial services committee. These are, if not the authors, then certainly the names responsible for the new US financial regulation bill. So why should we care?

Justin's Commentary - Cocking a CNOOC?
At the time of writing this, the BP gusher appears to have been capped. If true and sustained, then in Churchillian terms this is “Not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps, the end of the beginning”, because this is just the stopping of the core damage and nowhere near the stopping of the financial damage.

Justin's Commentary - Double Dipping?
I always thought that a double dip was some terrible faux pas at a cocktail party with limp celery and the warm houmus. Now I know better – it is of course a non specific economic term that appears to have now become common parlance. It certainly has little precision, as some imply that it could mean a dip back into recession and others that it is a mere slowdown. Either way though it seems to be talked about in the terms that imply that only dark days and doom lie ahead.
