Fascinating Finance Facts Daily 5-27-10

I'm looking for a job link.

GS Settlement?  I actually thought the government might go for the big B as in $1 Billion.

Inflation, what inflation? (source) I wrote about the governments slight of hand concerning inflation way back when.

New and Improved / Change is the Only Constant

So I changed this blogs title because I'm far from a student and few Moto Adventures were being had.  That said this blog will now be updated more regularly with what I think are fascinating finance facts.  The reason that this blog will be updated more frequently is because I am now semi-employed.  So if you know someone who needs a finance person familiar with most aspects of the financial world please, please tell me about it.  My wife will go crazy with me around more (not to mention the honey-do list she is generating).  My skills include MS Excel (all types of general and financial spreadsheets including budgets, pro-forma's, forecasting, financial modeling, etc.), MS Word, MS Powerpoint, Google Sketch-up, Quickbooks, with a working knowledge of Matlab, MS Access, C++, HTML and exposure to several accounting programs and Mathmatica .  I learn quickly and can adapt to whatever formats and systems companies use.  FYI, I will work for very little money for the right opportunity (opportunity does not just include the monetary possibilities but also knowledge acquisition opportunities).  I have been involved in three start up companies as a founder and manager, two of which were sold.  Please help my wife get me out of the house and help me avoid the "list".  Leave a comment or email me with any and all leads.

Watch Out for More Fascinating Stuff

I read this in the comment section of Paul K.'s Infectious Greed blog;

... speculator who trusts smoothly operating financial markets to pay him large amounts of electronically transmitted digital representations of federal reserve liabilities in faithful fulfillment of a bunch of derivatives transactions.

In other words US Dollars.
