As you may have already determined, I'm writing this weekend from the World Economic Forum's Summit on the Global Agenda here in Dubai, so expect more highlights in this space as the weekend progresses.

If you read nothing else this weekend, check out Nouriel Roubini's latest missive in the Globe and Mail about the divergent recovery in the US. Makes you wonder if the global economic recovery can withstand a shadow that long.

The Model Portfolio
Sure this guy has an opinion, but does he know what he's talking about? Since 2003, Wayne Arnold has been compiling a model portfolio of stocks and mutual funds to test macroeconomic and market trends. It doesn't sell short, trade derivatives, or use leverage. But since its inception with $1 million in imaginary funds, the model has more than doubled in value.
