Tuesday Morning Links

• Izabella Kaminska has a really nice graph showing the amount and trend of program trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).  From FTAlphaville
• Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb on PBS NewsHour (7 minute Video) discussing the chances of economic recovery.
• Relatively recent news on the "Eurozone".  From Bloomberg
• 16 Golden Rules of Investing from Walter Schloss.  This is taken from Todd Sullivan,  A Massachusetts based investor at valueplays.net
• Los Angeles Times Columnist David Lazarus on cable TV pricing/billing practices (obviously overcharged).  Basically they're trying to con people into paying for programming they never use. But because of the alternatives of Hulu and YouTube, the cable industry may be finally changing.
• Oil magnate J.R. Ewing "disses" oil and turns to solar!!! From Los Angeles Times. Time to check your apocalypse calendar.  What year did those jiggy Mayans say it would be??? 

Update:  I saw this link over at Max Keiser, and I feel this is something very very crucial and of    supreme importance we need to follow.  It has to to with Basel and capital rules for banks, specifically here talking about "watering down" what is the definition of capital on banks' balance sheets, and the Basel committee procrastinating high standards for capital ratios.  Story from Bloomberg, with hat tip to Max Keiser
