The Norwegian Effect

Why I love to blog? Just minutes ago a reader sent me a "random" story on sovereign wealth of Norway.

Then, less than a minute ago -- literally while I'm reading the story -- CNBC has a segment on sovereign wealth funds with an emphasis on Norway. CNBC noted that Norway has announced it will increase its equity holdings in its sovereign fund from 60% to 70%.

With one trillion dollars in its sovereign fund, Norway might be having an effect on the market today -- announcing that it will significantly move into the market.
