Quote for the Day:

What an extraordinary episode in the economic progress of man that age was which came to an end in August, 1914! The greater part of the population, it is true, worked hard and lived at a low standard of comfort, yet were, to all appearances, reasonably contented with this lot. But escape was possible, for any man of capacity or character at all exceeding the average, into the middle and upper classes, for whom life offered, at a low cost and with the least trouble, conveniences, comforts, and amenities beyond the compass of the richest and most powerful monarchs of other ages.

1. "What a marriage of beauty and brains, the fair Lopokova and John Maynard Keynes"

Marriage
In 1921, Keynes wrote that he had fallen "very much in love" with Lydia Lopokova, a well-known Russian ballerina and one of the stars of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes.[176] In the early years of his courtship, he maintained an affair with a younger man, Sebastian Sprott, in tandem with Lopokova, but eventually chose Lopokova exclusively.[177][178] They were married in 1925, with Keynes's former lover Duncan Grant as best man.[128][161] "What a marriage of beauty and brains, the fair Lopokova and John Maynard Keynes" was said at the time.

It was a risk on, one way trending day. Hate them. Not enough volatility to generate trading signals.
