FT Alphaville: NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS

Dear reader,
We are declaring the journalistic equivalent of “fast markets” today. If you don’t know why you are sitting on the wrong blog.
All facts should be treated as indicative. Apologies in advance for typos, missing links, etc. Expect PLENTY OF BLOCK CAPS.
And let’s hope the tech holds up.
Thank you for your custom.
