So its been awhile since I last posted anything of interest (has anything been of interest ;) ). Right now I'm interested in convertible bonds and the mechanisms and pricing of said bonds. Settle down, I know you are excited for an upcoming treatise on the nuances of the convert bonds, but you'll have to wait (I'm mean that way). This interest was flamed by my "reading" of a book on the collapse of Lehman Bros. I put reading in quotations because my local library has seen fit to offer the book only in listening form, and yes that bugs me. The great thing about an actual book is the fact that you can re-read passages that maybe you don't quite understand the first time through and then glean new info from the re-read. This is totally lost on listening to a book. My MP3 player unfortunately does not allow me to rewind passages without rewinding to the start of the chapter. With the chapters being approx 90 minutes long, this leads to much soul searching when it comes to not "getting" the "text" the first time through. Do I waste 30 minutes of listening time to gather that 15 seconds of info, or do I just keep going. Oh, the dilemmas I face.
Just got back from a warm weekend away with the family. Had a great time and found a new favorite hiking area. I did come home with a cold that A. apparently gave me (I will no longer share saltines while watching Mythbusters on Netflix). Have I told you how much the family loves Netflix and Hulu streaming. All the shows we like that are on cable (which we WON'T have) at 1/8th the cost. Now if only they could stream it to my phone. Till next year.
