If you're looking for detailed ongoing discussion on financial markets and interest rates (as some adjacent search engine hits apparently concern), this probably isn't your first-choice place. It's also not intended as a commercial venture (hence, one reason why this isn't a .com domain) or as a calculated branding vehicle. Rather, my idea in this blog is to share thoughts from various consciousness streams spanning a personal empire of interests, particularly as those streams intersect. If you find them interesting too, please visit and comment.
