Banks in Germany Tell Customers to Take Deposits Elsewhere

The pandemic savings glut has flooded German banks, encouraging them to charge negative rates on deposits and to offer customers ways to transfer money to other parts of Europe.

My MIL is counting the days until she can pull her money out of Europe. She has some lockup for another 22 months...

Closed out a CC for $151.26 that had a max profit of $179. Trying to write another CC on the same underlying, 4/16 @ $3.80 a share.

Also have CSP for KLR @ 17.50 for 3/19 with a limit of $1.40 a share. The market is moving away from that (underlying going up as per usual with KLR lately) and not holding my breath on that tendie.

What’s up with the over-use and obsession on acronyms in American business and professional culture? - The Context Of Things

I take business school classes right now, and b-school students notoriously love the acronym, so some of these examples I'm going to delightfully pepper throughout this post are probably irrelevant to the broader world, but eh ... you win some, you lose some. Last night I was in a class and we...

hot take: pandemic credit flow is literally sucking the money out of europe

Given the glut of savings, it has to go somewhere. If they don’t finish the single financial market to better allocate savings within the union, might as well go outside.

This was one of the earliest stories that led to my current bromance level admiration for Elon Musk:

Elon Musk hates office jargon and you should too

In a new email sent to all his Tesla staff, Elon Musk reiterated his hatred of office jargon. Here are a few of the most irksome phrases that people use in the workplace and what they actually mean.

Eh, I agree there's no shortage of unnecessary office jargon, but your latter article goes too far for my taste, seemingly decrying variety in language altogether:

Most workplace jargon and acronyms are irritating because they’re so unnecessary. These phrases say nothing that pre-existing words and phrases can’t.

For example, I don't see the problem with the phrase 'hard stop' to signify when one absolutely has to drop off a call / leave a meeting; despite the article's insistence, I don't consider 'deadline' a very elegant substitute. Should someone have argued against the creation of the word 'beautiful' when 'pretty' would arguably have sufficed?

What I know to be true is that we need to get to action. The only way to realize these synergies in this window is to be all in on a one team focus. Otherwise it might as well just be pencils down.
