Did he pronounce it with a long “o”?
Billy Idol does:
do you love dollars? or do u love monies?
This, drives me positively bat$#!t crazy. Nobody that is either Hispanic or Latino that I know thinks this is cool. This is a handful of university professor cultural reclamation bozos bastardizing the Spanish language.
haha lol this is a project that consists of three phases. The first two phases haven’t met their target and the third phase is very iffy. But nevertheless I’m very confident 
The sales pitch for the 3rd phase was pretty energetic and I’m sure I heard a long “o” in there
I love my euros. Except they might be like dust in the wind once this inflation gets going! @GorillaNerd please advise on how to survive the upticking yield curve
Don’t hate the player, hate the game

its usually when rates yield curve goes negative when a recession is looming and you should be concerned. usually rising yield curve means an improving economy. anyways im pretty sure, the fed will keep rates low and will tolerate inflation up to around 4% before letting rates rise. keep in mind something like 15% of us budget is dedicated to interest. if rates were to even double, the us would be super ■■■■. so i highly doubt they will let rates rise. they need to inflate the debt and raise taxes before they let rates rise.
also theres a lot of infaltion talk. but keep in mind we’ve had low inflation for the alst 30 years at about 2%. i’ve been wrong about infaltion for 15 friggin years. i thought when they did qe that inflation was bound to happen but it never did.
anyways jsut stick with companies that can easily raise prices on customers. in terms of sector, banks will prolly benefit assuming ppl dont default on them. tehre are 4 cos i like. unh. noc. fb. baba. none of them banks cuz im scared that there will be a lot of defaults. these low rates increased the amt of debt instead of letting weak cos die naturally. imo these low rates are doing something ungodly by keeping money losers alive.
One I keep hearing at the moment is “socialising ideas” broadly meaning to disseminate information without formally announcing it. I quite like it for tacitly acknowledging the Machiavellian nature of high finans but it’s still wanky as hell.
Also the unstoppable march to make everything a noun. It started with:
‘The Ask’ as in - “what’s the ask here?” instead of “what are you requesting?”. Then moved into nonsensical terms like::
‘The Pre-Read’ as in - “can you please ensure you read the pre-read ahead of the meeting” instead of “please read the document before the meeting”
Someone recently asked me mid conversation in an internal meeting “so what’s your Stated Ambition?” rather than just asking what I planned to do or what the objective was.
How about, “Be prepared when you show up”?
Or, better still, have people who know that it’s their job to be prepared without having to be told to be each time.
Perhaps you should have told them that you never state your ambitions, because doing so:
- Limits your flexibility
- Allows others to judge you should you fall short
Or to make everything a verb.
As Calvin put it so eloquently, “Verbing weirds language.”
I would bluntly tell that person, “I am stating that my personal ambition is to end this conversation as rapidly as humanly possible, since I have an extreme allergy to corporate bull$hit-speak that makes otherwise smart individuals sound like bell-ends.”

“Uncorrelated” when used to describe things that are not uncorrelated.
Or when used pretty much at all.
If you mean that their correlation coefficient is (near) zero, then say so.
“Uncorrelated” makes it sound as if it’s impossible to compute a correlation (coefficient).

If I see a chart with random dots I’m going to say it’s uncorrelated.

I think “uncorrelated” is often used to describe two seemingly unrelated investments rather than two investments with a correlation coefficient near zero.

Superlative descriptions as in: the upside on this is literally limitless
