Comments on: It’s Not All Sunshine & Roses http://youngsaroundtheworld.com/99-its-not-all-sunshine-roses/ A weblog of our epic adventure Sun, 16 Jun 2013 17:03:54 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.4.2 By: Mark and Mer http://youngsaroundtheworld.com/99-its-not-all-sunshine-roses/comment-page-1/#comment-907 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 17:04:27 +0000 http://youngsaroundtheworld.com/blog/?p=99#comment-907 a fight about arbitrage?! Like arbitrage arbitrage? Like, ‘practice of taking advantage of price differential between two markets’ straight out of an economics text book…that arbitrage? I think i know what happened…you were at the Indian McDonalds and you saw that a Big Mac was 400 rupees and you realize that this is $0.75 and one of you (probably Aaron) said, “wow that’s an arbitrage opportunity, we could buy all the Indian Big Macs, and sell them in the US for the US price of $1.35 and make $.60 gross profit on every Mac” Tina being the wiser, said, “that’s fucking stupid…what about import taxes and the costs of travelling back and forth between the US and India, what about spoilage, handling, and insurance. What about currency exchange ever moving toward purchasing power parity.”

Tina, you can come and work for McKinsey any day.

Aaron, it’s Long-Term Capital Management trading desk for you!

I will say…the Men’s NCAA tourney is not the same without you guys…or should i say, it’s not the same to bag on my father when i don’t have you bagging with me. I ‘went with my heart’ a little this year and despite Lute being out i have AZ getting to the elite 8 in both brackets…call me sentimental. You can check out how bad Mer is beating me on the McK pool…. she picks in the most unfun way i can think of…higher seed wins everytime…literally with 4 1seeds in the final four..boo!
