Uber-bear Albert Edwards, a strategist at Societe Generale, is out with a new note to clients about market tops and expensive baskets.

Edwards highlights the following comment from this weekend's Financial Times that said the following:

Sir: The next financial apocalypse is imminent. I know this to be true because the (FT Weekend) House and Home section is now assuming the epic proportions last seen before the great crash. Twenty four pages chock full of adverts for mansions and wicker tea trays for $1,000. You’re all mad.

Sell everything and run for your lives.

“Sell everything and run for your lives.”

Now, now, Blam. Don’t be fomenting a panic, LOL!

I’ll be in my bunker, packing shotgun shells if you need me. :)

Candy is dandy, but wicker is quicker...

I got a bed and bath catalog last weekend that had pillows on sale. For a king sized, ‘eiderdown’ pillow with silk cover, the price was over $7,000. Seven thousand dollars for a pillow. And that was the SALE price.

You've made Mr. Nash smile or roll; not sure which.

They don't even send those catalogs to my zip code.

Guns, bullets and beans, worth much more than their weight in gold.

Wish I were exaggerating, or being sarcastic but when you add it all up...
