Kind readers, contrary to what the talking-heads might suggest, the market is always a tough mistress. The direction of the market is never clear and never easy. But, this has been an exceptionally difficult year. Those cavalier or naive enough not to realise how close we came to falling off the edge might consider themselves lucky. But those of us who stared straight into the abyss come away stronger and wiser.
Throughout the year, Market Melange has been there, providing some of the most timely insightful and accurate analysis of the crisis of our lifetime. We hope – and I am sure – that 2010 will be smoother sailing. There will chances for bulls and bears, but perhaps neither camp will get so much mileage as it has in 2009.

We bid farewell to 2009 with a trip down memory lane, relive those eventful days with Market Melange’s compilation of our best posts of the year:
