The Big 3: Death to the CB! Liars Liars Liars! Dreaming Large!
By Cody Willard
1. Death to all Central Banks!
2. Don’t believe Wall Street’s liars
3. Bill Gates and me: One degree of separation?
Here’s what I was dreaming about today:
1. Treasury Lending Facilities, intraday liquidity injections, mortgage contract nullifications, aggressive, even panicked rate cuts. You really think anybody can control all these moving pieces and generate positive results? Let’s kill the Central Bank entirely before it screws us up any worse.
2. Why have they been giving all your money to “save” Wall Street again? Because the same guys like those at Citi that just closed Old Lane Capital, a hedge fund they paid a billion dollars for last year, convinced the public that unless they keep getting free money the economy will implode. The titans of Wall Street can’t see the future and they’re idiots and liars. Don’t believe this endless hype!
3. This might sound silly to you, but I realized today that Bill Gates might actually know who I am, and that blows this cowboy from New Mexico’s mind. I’m friends with the CEO of the firm that does Microsoft’s PR work and then today I saw my friend and colleague Liz actually sitting down with the guy. Heck, the one and only Warren Buffett was even on this TV show I somehow anchor. Dream big guys, because I’m here to tell you that anything really can happen!

An avid reader of the Codyblog, I am very content with the content (heteronym?) seen on codywillard.com lately. Your career has been inspiring to me as a young, personal investor with insignificant capital and an even less significant job. But, Kudos to the blog! it’s random, impulsive, personal, and informative- the true essence of a “blog” for our current period.
You probably do not remember, but I’m the person who requested more stock tips and market advice and you explained that your blog was exclusively for politics and music. Now, i’d actually like to read more about your political opinions, causes, etc, as well as your current music interests. You gave me the Kris Kristofferson reco which is very cool. I’ll give you one band that you probably never heard and I guarantee it will stand out from everything on your playlist- the GO! team- “huddle formation” three minutes of this band will have you redefining the meaning of “pop” used in music.
keep rocking the blog!
