“QUOTE” OF THE DAY: A jackass can kick down a barn…. …But it takes a good carpenter to build one Sam Rayburn

A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Eight years into the recovery, it is important to recognize that financial conditions can change rapidly and bear special vigilance…. …Nonetheless, risks to the U.S. financial system do not appear to be flashing red in the way they did in the run-up to previous downturns. Lael Brainard (FOMC)
