We need a few more days

KKR Financial Holdings, part of the KKR private equity kingdom, did not make a payment on its short term debt last Friday. They need another week to come up with the cash. This is the second time in six months they've had to make late payments, despite having raised $270,000,000 in September, a scant five months ago.

This, together with oil topping $100 yesterday, is not a good sign.
