“You know what’s interesting? Federal economics.” I just thought that thought.
When the Fed and how they jack with the discount rate in order to jack with the prime rate in order to tweak the economy is the most interesting thing you have encountered today, you know you have sunk to a new low.
However, Mel Gibson is also interesting. I know we turn a blind eye to entertainers with flaws, but what if that flaw is a brutal dead and loveless heart?
Discuss. I’ll be here learning the about Commercial Paper. Actually, that’s interesting too, a firm in town got raided by the SEC for their commercial paper practices.
Sooooo… I’ll be here learning the about Yield curves. Is anything interesting in your lives?

Think so. My cousin is coming to visit for the weekend. Since the fireworks are on the Hudson side (much easier to get to) this year and not the East River side, I think we’re going to give that a go.
You may rest assured that your 4th of July will be more exciting than ours. We have the poopiest fireworks display in the U.S.
You can make a gazillion dollars with that whole commercial paper thing. At least my ex brother in law did. And he trained his kids to do it, too. Wouldn’t you know I married the wrong brother? Sheesh.
Interesting event of the day:
When I was at yoga I smelled the weirdest smell–dog food. I mean, the yoga studio is on the third floor of an old office building down town.
So I thought, maybe the teacher brings her dog, puts out some kibble, and I look around looking for a bowl while doing the warrior two and rag doll pose.
And the smell gets stronger and I’m like WTF?? Am I having a stroke? Then I remember, it’s burning hair people smell before they stroke out, not dog kibble.
THEN I SEE IT!! I am directly in front of a vent. Someone in the building must have a dog.
WEIRD AND FUN ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
AND OH YEAH. The teacher is from Finland and had the same accent as the sweedish chef from the muppets. WHICH WAS EFFING HILARIOUS 🙂
good times, good times.
no go, get back to your economics. you will rock these tests so hard their grandkids will feel it. 🙂
Becs- Ooooo … go to the fireworks anyway.Hattie – Why? That sounds wrong. You should get good fireworks. Is there some ecological prohibition against fireworks?Becs – That’s the hardest part about studying, I keep dropping into fantasies about making money with all this knowledge.Mrs Hall – Okay, I would lose it if my yoga class were taught by the Swedish chef.
I’ve discovered this weekend that after a lifetime of being a big sneezer (Ha CHOOOO!!!) and endlessly asserting, in the face of disapproval from co-workers, that to suppress a sneeze is to risk rupture – that falling off a ladder and sustaining deep bruising to the ribs is all you need to convert instantly into the daintiest and most ladylike of mini-sneezers. Without, astonishingly, the top of your head flying off.
I just read The Big Short. That was fascinating.
Big Dot – After having had the Wild Boar Flu I have adopted a new cough: the Baby Cat Cough. Upper Body cough ONLY. It sounds like a wee cat coughing up a hairball.Magpie – I remember after the semester I spent in four survey courses in which I read 60 classic novels, I said I would never read fiction again, and didn’t for about 20 years. So I’m thinking The Big Short will not be on my nightstand.
