@EricBalchunas It was either TNT or TBS. A lot of their made for tv movies were amazing. Gettysburg with Jeff Daniels and Martin Sheen comes to mind.

I think I'm officially "Wall Street Old" because when I see $FIG, all I can think about is Fortress Investment Group and the first wave of P/E firm IPOs... which was 20 yrs ago...

[Stocktwits @Stocktwits]

$FIG is down 20% today

But Stocktwits Sentiment is still extremely bullish 👀

@TipsWatch The rule in our house is "always get the chicken." Every Costco trip.

@DaveNadig You know, had the Feds really gone after Equifax in 2017- like really hard- this wouldn't be an issue today. But since they didn't and there's no recourse or punishment for data leaks, we get thoughts & prayers.

@JonFSchwartz @EricBalchunas Why couldn't they? An ETN is nothing more than an unsecured bond. Issuers don't don't even have to technically buy the assets that the ETN are tied to. BlackRock can just say "we'll pay you this amount on this date when the bond matures minus fees."

[Aaron Levitt @AaronLevitt]

@EricBalchunas You could with an ETN

@DadLifting I'm convinced that Ben Stiller's character in Dodgeball (White Goodman) and Heavyweights (Tony Perkis) are actually the same guy.

@EricBalchunas @SirYappityyapp How you count mutual fund-to-ETF conversions in that total? Should those count as inflows?

[Aaron Levitt @AaronLevitt]

@KyleWoodley Helps that Vermont doesn't have any Chick-fil-A's and they've effectively litigated against the company numerous times.

If Taylor Swift would tell everyone to open a Roth IRA and buy a basket of low-cost ETFs, the retirement crisis in America would be over instantly.

[MarketWatch @MarketWatch]

What’s driving up prices for sporting events? Taylor Swift is one factor, alongside inflation and pent-up demand https://t.co/5n0afaiBNG

@LaMonicaBuzz But that JOLTs Report? Would be interesting to see the current labor participation rate.

@MLPguy I have a theory, that MLPs will be back by the end of the decade. Given all the stimulus, Federal debt load, etc. taxes are going to have to rise. At that point, it'll make sense to spin-off these sorts of assets into a MLP again. I'm not holding my breathe, but still.

@MorningBrew Return to office means more latch-key kids. A lot safer than using the stove to fix a snack.

@EricBalchunas @Todd_Sohn Doesn't Cap Group have nine ETFs?

The worst part is that we already went through this song & dance back in the late 1990s. Private REITs too.

@DadLifting Even if an Elvis impersonator is the priest?

[Aaron Levitt @AaronLevitt]

@KyleWoodley @MstarBenJohnson Dead serious.
