It is an annual interest rate. But the loans are ultra short term.

Do I know what I'm talking about? Probably less than I realize.

ah i see. interesting the commie propaganda show left that out.

my idiot friend who does actually know something about finance told me that banks are allowed to leverage their money like crazy. i forget what he said exactly, but something like 100-1. so if you deposit 1 dollar in your account, they can lend out 100 dollars on it. so basically they are allowed to print money.

do you know if that's true?

Fractional reserve banking usually leverages somewhere between 10x and 20x of deposits.

Iow, all banks have around 5-10% of the money they promise.

Fresh Air had a good interview with David Milch today, about his new HBO show Luck.

btw, my idiot ****** friend who said the stuff about the banking, he is the one who handles my money and he is really good at it if anyone is looking for help with investing. if it wasn't for him i would be broke. seriously he is good and a good guy. but he is kinda rainmanish in a way.

thanks! but no way she likes me. i am a super weirdo, and i think it takes a certain kind of girl to be open for going with a super weirdo. i suspect she is not that type.

but no eye aversion will be necessary. i heard she is not the kind of girl to just take her clothes off on the first date
