Or come from a long line of acclimated geniuses.

Yo Andy, why is it that you're so knowledgeable when it comes to finance/economics? Do you just read up a lot?
Yeah, I wanted to ask that question.
I'm genuinely interested in the capital markets and part of my major requires me to know about it. My degree is meteorology but my option is weather risk management, so I have to know about trading when dealing with important issues like hedging against adverse weather conditions. As you guys know, the energy markets and ag commodities depend quite a lot on the weather.

I think I'm going to be sick.

Still have dreams of working on De Waal?
I don't want to work on Wall Street. You don't have to work on Wall Street to trade in the capital markets or work in risk management.

I know somebody with my degree on an energy trading desk in Houston and that's what I'd like to do eventually.

    as dumb of a concept it its, cash for clunkers did attribute to a 2% sales boost in autos for the month of july.

    a zig-zag path to stay a float
    Yeah, and now more people will be in debt from financing a new car.

    Just what the economy needs... more debt.

    It's like fire fighters showing up to a house fire with flame throwers.

    No, I just think you are talking out of your ear and making things seem a lot worse than they really are, which would not be the first time.
    Yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing.

    Remind me to not have a serious conversion about economics with you.
