("ok, tyler, what's so remarkable about that spike? lots of other spikes in there" etc.). not all of us have a trading desk and a fed window, and these screens are both instructive and arcane. really, is there anything more here than the usa is categorized as sovereign and tarp is categorized as friendly? wish that were my bank account. i’ve always wanted to buy belize.
