This chart comes from a Michael Cembalest’s research note today. The key is in there too. I’m not making this up:

1.The toreador in a floppy hat, and the F1 driver with his helmet, represent Spain, Italy and the rest of the Euro Periphery. 2.The three men with helmets, shields, and medieval weaponry represent the CDU, CSU and FDP parties in Germany. 3.The blue-and-white sailor boy is Finland. Obvs. 4.The woman with an oversized carrot and her friend in overalls with a shovel represent the Social Democrats and Greens. 5.Wotan represents the Bundesbank. 6.The piggy bank is the IMF. 7.The grey-haired Banque chap is the ECB. 8.The chap in the red bib is Poland. 9.The artists are France. 10.The angry chef, the sweeper with a broom, the airline pilot, and the rest of the motley crew at bottom left, represent EU taxpayers in Core countries. 11.The storm troopers are the EU Commission and Euro Group Finance Ministers, chaired by Jose Manuel Barroso and Jean- Claude Juncker. 12.The monocled banker and his assistant are EU bondholders and shareholders.

Cembalest does at one point feel the need to explain what he’s doing here:

If today’s diorama analysis borders on the absurd, so does maintaining the fiction that accumulation of massive public and private sector claims in Europe can somehow be engineered away.

Still, I like the idea of sitting all the key European players in a room with a box of lego and telling them to work things out that way. The results couldn’t really be more farcical than those of the EU bank stress tests.

LOVE Monza. We were there for the GP AND the half Marathon the week after. Gives a new meaning to a standing start. (we are somewhere near the back of this group).

So I can brag that I've run the entire course.
