Can I use the Nelson-Siegel-Svensson model for yield curves that are not zero coupon?

The model is usually used to fit zero coupon yields to a curve, but can I use it on the regular treasury yield curve which has semi annual coupons?

Who owns 55 Water Street in NYC, the building where the DTCC is located? PART 2 (or "What's in your wallet, Alabama?")

TL;DR:

  • RSA, which owns 55 Water Street where the DTCC is located, and David Bronner have been criticized for failing to include an independent fiduciary counsel for RSA.
  • Alabama Policy Institute argues that RSA has been losing money for pensioners; this echoes calls by many saying that Bronner is making money and investments (golf courses, hotels) off public money.
  • 55 Water Street was purchased in part due to a buyout, but largely as a result of a sting operation against the NYC Italian mob. NYC's then District Attorney Morganthou had links to Alabama.

Hallo fellow apes! Today, I saw a recent comment saying that some of you weekend DD warriors wish there was some more DD or possible DD posts on weekends, and I might have something to scratch that itch along with the great posts I've already seen today on reverse repo & crypto, more drone/camera shots, etc.!

Plus, I appreciate all the apes making DTCC memes on David Inggs and the like.

Credit to u/Trendingmemes for this one, as well as any other Inggs memes I might have missed!

So to introduce, I made my first post on 55 Water some time back (you can see that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/mwpmtw/who_owns_55_water_street_in_nyc_the_building/). To reiterate that post's DD, here's some TLDR:

  • 55 Water purchased by Retirement Systems of Alabama in 1993 for $202 million. Head is David Bronner.
  • DTCC is the largest tenant in 55 Water St.
  • **RSA filing in 2008 said "RSA is the retirement system for Alabama state and local employees. RSA does not engage outside professional money managers, but instead relies on an in-house investment staff to manage more than $30 billion in assets. At the time of the events described in this report, RSA had no policies, procedures, training or compliance officer to ensure its compliance wi

League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Mafia and Organized Crime

Part 2 of an ongoing series, the last part of which focused on US Presidents: https://www.reddit.com/r/FanTheories/comments/mbqncv/league_of_extraordinary_gentlemen_presidents_of/

If you know the comic series, you know the conceit of the series is that basically all fictional characters are true, and in some cases historical figures are replaced with fictional counterparts- Adolf Hitler becomes Adenoid Hynkel from Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator, for example. So I thought I'd fill in some of the blanks in this universe by seeing which fictional characters fit into which historical niches.

********

  • The so-called "Public Enemy" era of American history brought public attention to the most vicious and evil criminals of the time, dangerous hoods such as Gentleman Roy Earle, outlaw couple Joanie and Ed Taylor, hired gun "Flattop" Jones, and Ma Jarret's Gang. In Chicago, ideally seated to profit from Canadian bootleg pipelines, notorious gangster Tony "Scarface" Camonte warred for control of the city's bootlegging rackets with Rico "Lil' Caesar" Bandello and Irish hoodlum Tom Powers.
  • Organized crime in America begins with Meyer Wolfsheim, a Jewish-American gangster widely believed to have fixed the World Series in 1919. Wolfsheim took racketeering from the activity of street hoodlums and turned it into a transnational corporation with him at the top. He also became something of a mentor to other prominent gangsters of the era, including Johnny Vanning, Nicky Diamonds, and Hyman Roth.
  • In 1929, Vanning held a conference in Atlantic City, with the nation's most prolific gangsters in attendance, to announce the formation of a National Crime Syndicate that would control organized crime across the US and the world. Roth and his childhood friend Moe Greene would go on to effectively found the city of Las Vegas, a city-wide vice den for the Mafia to profit off of gambling and prostitution. The syndicate would hold almost unquestioned control over the city, only facing token resistance from eccentric, reclusive billionaires like Jonas Cord, Willard Whyte, and Tony Stark.
  • By 1933, the crime situation could not be ignored, and president Judd Hammond announced a zero-tolerance policy against racketeers which met with thunderous public acclaim. With the support of Senators **B

Greenland is just great, highly recommended.
 Greenland is super! Released in 2020 and is on HBO Max, run time is 1:59 and it is just heart wrenching. It really had a lower tone of the 2012 movie as released in pandemic year world ending blah blah but some scenes your just on the edge of your seat then the next your shedding a few tears. It is really horrifying too, the images of those asteroids, comets whatever the hell is mental. Here is the introduction: 

 John Garrity, his estranged wife and their young son embark on a perilous journey to find sanctuary as a planet-killing comet hurtles toward Earth. Amid terrifying accounts of cities getting levelled, the Garrity's experience the best and worst in humanity. As the countdown to the global apocalypse approaches zero, their incredible trek culminates in a desperate and last-minute flight to a possible safe haven.

 (Tiny spoiler) >!part of the movie has two stories, and it’s executed really well and there isn’t a scene that is tiring it has loads of action!< Spoiler over.

 There is a bit of gore, not the whole movie but certain scenes.

 It stars Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin and Roger Dale Floyd as the most significant characters. It is directed by Ric Roman Waugh. Produced by Gerard Butler,

Basil Iwanyk, SΓ©bastien Raybaud and Alan Siegel. Written by Chris Sparling.

 I highly suggest this movie perfect combination of action and emotion. All people listed above definitely did an incredible job and at the end you’ll be speechless.

DAD JOKES ARE NOT DIRTY.

Go post NSFW jokes somewhere else. If I can't tell my kids this joke, then it is not a DAD JOKE.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Mods... If you exist... Please, stop this madness. Rule #6 should simply not allow NSFW or (wtf) NSFL tags. Also, remember that MINORS browse this subreddit too? Why put that in rule #6, then allow NSFW???

Please consider changing rule #6. I love this sub, but the recent influx of NSFW tagged posts that get all the upvotes, just seem wrong when there are good solid DAD jokes being overlooked because of them.

Thank you,

A Dad.

Proud dad moment.

Keep in mind, my son is 4 years old, so everything is an original to him.

I had to work late into the evening yesterday, and he was just going to bed when I got home. I had left home for the office nearly 14 hours prior, had a long day, lots of meetings, traffic, etc.

When I walked through the door, I was exhausted, run down, and starving. My wife hugged me and asked how my day was, and I replied, "Done. It was a good day, but has got me exhausted. I just want to grab a bite and go to bed. I'm hungry."

From my son's bedroom, I hear him shout, "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet you!"

Not only did it make me laugh, but I completely forgot about how hungry and tired I was. I went to his bedroom, and we laughed together about it. It was exactly what I needed.

Edit: Thanks for all the awards, kind strangers! I'll let my son know y'all enjoyed his joke too!
