European Tribune - Comments - The Carry Trade: Borrowing from Yoshi to Pay Ahmad and Ping

The Carry Trade: Borrowing from Yoshi to Pay Ahmad and Ping | 13 comments (13 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

We've been living on plentiful, cheap, borrowed money.

First it stops being plentiful, then it stops being cheap, and then it needs to be repaid at the worst time...

From overhang to hangover.

A votre service, Jerome! Et merci. (none / 0)

DailyKos seems rather subdued this week. Everyone must be busy doing their taxes or something.

I wasn't expecting much comment on the carry trade, but I do regret that there wasn't a better reception for my YearlyKos side trips diary yesterday as I was trying to impress my Dad.

There's a rhythm to commenting I haven't quite got the hang of yet. It feels something like a herd motion. Around here comments are light early in the week and tend to ramp up in the middle of the week. They sort of follow hits/visits but only sort of.
