About

Spent eight years on a rates desk and left with an ulcer and an allergy to the word unprecedented. Reads the tape before the takes, and keeps a framed chart of the one call he got badly wrong.

How they write

Numbers-first, calm, allergic to hype. Always states the figure, the date, and the prior value. Flags when a move is noise.
