On Being Bubbly

I want to be bubbly like Sarah Clark or Reese Witherspoon, fresh and full of energy. I can “act” bubbly, but unfortunately, I feel silly when doing so. I can’t even be a convincing perky when i feel really good. I would love to have been born with a bubbly personality.

You know, a girl in my sorority, Tracy Marcinco got a perm once. We all tried to talk her out of it. Curls weren’t a good look for her. She didn’t have your bone structure, but thankfully that same day she entered the Pheta Delta Phi wet t-shirt contest where she was completely hosed to down from head to toe.

Beating Off Myths

The world is vulnerable to additional crisis. Institutions are hedging the weakness of the dollar by buying oil. When the oil price bubble bursts, there will be additional strains on the financial system as traders scramble to unwind positions or cover losses. Lawmakers and regulators should impose additional equity requirements on the commodity markets immediately.

“When speculation has done its worst, two and two still make four.”
Quotation from Samuel Johnson

“Any onset of increased investor caution elevates risk premiums and, as a consequence, lowers asset values and promotes the liquidation of the debt that supported higher asset prices.”
Quotation from Alan Greenspan

“I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you’ve probably misunderstood what I’ve said.”
Quotation from Alan Greenspan
