Bucky said...

I feel like I have been violated recently.

karen said...

Similar to "On your mark! Go! Get set!" but far more pithy : )

So, what do we have up above.. nothing I want to look at as I and my Top teeter in the balance this weekend.. as I can't make any sense of it.

CV said...

I keep staring at that 10yy chart and it reminds me of something...

WHAT? Hasn't dawned on me yet... But it'll come to me...

CV said...

...and it's NOT the "Cassiopeia" constellation...

karen said...

"Cassiopeia is easily recognizable due to its distinctive 'W' shape formed by five bright stars. In the sky Cassiopeia sits with Andromeda on the South side, Perseus on the South East and Cepheus to the North. She is opposite The Big Dipper, and can be seen the clearest in early November. In Greek mythology it was considered to represent the vain queen Cassiopeia, who boasted about her unrivaled beauty."

It reminds you that it has been an eternity since the 10 year was over 5...

...but everything is working out as it should, so Chauncy Gardner told me once.

I need a beer.

Oh, I forgot to tell yall that Don Carlos the baby squirrel found a home. Some squirrel lady who rehabs abandoned ones came and picked him up. She said he looked pretty rough, oh, and he's only a week old, not 3 wks like I thought.

He was cute though, hope he pulls through.

A great experience.

Treasury 2-Year Yield Drops to Record Low as U.S. Growth Cools

July 30 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries climbed, pushing two-year note yields to the lowest ever, as a government report showing U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter spurred demand for the world’s safest securities.

U.S. notes gained for a fourth month. Economic expansion cooled to a 2.4 percent annual pace last quarter, lower than forecast, Commerce Department data showed. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard said yesterday the central bank should resume purchases of Treasury securities if the economy slows and prices fall.

“The GDP report was lackluster and is pointing toward slower growth,” said James Collins, a Chicago-based interest- rate strategist in the futures division at Citigroup Global Markets Inc., one of 18 primary dealers that trade with the Fed. “Treasuries are certainly acting as though economic weakness will be the mainstay.”

...Now how does that little homily go? The equities market floats on a sea of bonds....?

karen said...

I picked Pink Floyd first! Listening now..

But, I-Man, that's a good resolve to the situation, tho.. did you take any pics of him? How much fur did he have, I wonder..

AmenRa said...

TNX is yelling that this melt up is BS. It keeps wondering when is the market going to take the red pill?

I-Man said...

Barely had any fur at all... he wasnt pink but, his belly was. He definitely had the beginnings of fur, and little whiskers. Eyes hadnt opened yet.

She said he looked about a week old.

We have one iphone pic of him, lemme see if I can harvest it off FB...

Bruce in Tennessee said...

Well, probably about to drop out here in a minute or two...wife has the "dish" we are supposed to bring to these things about ready..

...sometimes I feel guilty..I must admit. If it weren't for TV and the internet, I wouldn't know there were any problems in the world.

(Sighs....)

karen said...

Bruce, Is that Jesse? She looks longer from the rear.. : )

I-Man said...

you got mail, karen

Bruce in Tennessee said...

No, that was our first great lab, Satin. But from that dog we became twitterpated about labs, and now own two, Jesse and Stoney. Fabulous dogs..if you look at the picture of the Copper Cascades, Stoney is already across the log that Jesse is crossing. They both have been taken to the mountains hundreds of times..

Bruce in Tennessee said...

Stoney is the puppy I sometimes post..

Anonymous said...

Ready, Fire, Aim ! Shouldn't that be Ready, set, fire? I know a thing or two about target shooting. Unless I missed a joke earlier.

From Canada.

I-Man said...

Nice pics, Bruce.

Bruce in Tennessee said...

You missed the joke...read the last thread.

We talked about the Volt, and how it came to be.....

Bruce in Tennessee said...

Gone...I will take a census of the big dogs and report this weekend about how they feel about the rest of this year and 2011.

...and baby's got her blue jeans on!

karen said...

Ben, you got me stuck on Pink Floyd tonight.. not good. I think I need to download Dark Side now.. laughing..

Stew said...

I-Man - Glad to hear your little critter found a REAL home. If you would have let me have him, he would have made a nice stew.

Mangy Mutt

P.S. Karen, I am just kidding, I would not have made stew out of him, I would have made stir fry :)

Taco Hernandez said...

Mutt, I would have fabricated another tasty dish with salsa but stir fry would be nice also!

Taco Mania said...

Mmmmmmmm, squirle taco......

Mutt
