Former trader and current man who is going to stay on hold for about another 61 seconds before he rips the phone out of the wall and throws it through a window, Richard Brelsow, is “in a good mood,” on Friday. That’s your breaking news right there.

Richard actually says that in his final missive of week, seemingly confirming our long-held suspicion that “good mood” and “Richard Breslow” are not two things that are often spotted together in the wild.

Well, as you know because you read our last post, Friday is a lot different from Thursday. Everyone (so not just Richard) is in a better mood than they were yesterday (when the world was ending) and the reason for the season is that the Senate passed a budget.

So Brelsow has some thoughts for you on “reading the technical tea leaves” after a “topsy-turvy week” and he also has the following delightfully sarcastic bit to offer about the non-zero chance that something “horrible” happens over the weekend:

And yes it’s true that if something horrible happens this weekend from known or unknown events it will upset the apple cart. I, too, can claim to have warned you if it should come to pass.

Enjoy this, because it’s vintage Breslow – although actually, maybe it’s not, because vintage Richard is never in a “good mood.”
