They weren’t as good as I had hoped but I was able to procure a B in that class.  I, of course, was hoping for a better grade but, suffice to say, I’m glad to have received the grade that I did as, even though the result of my programming was good, I felt that it left room for improvement.  After all, it was a project that was supposed to have been completed by 3 individuals and the end result was the product of only one of those three done over two weeks (I did a total re-design, start to finish) of what was supposed to have been done in eight. :-/

Besides that, well, I will post some Market commentary because my Blog is focused on whatever the heck pops into my head at the moment and this appears to be what has.  The credit markets, or at least the Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) that correlate closely to the long bond, is beginning to crumble again (and please correct me if I’m wrong as the one commenting on this is a stupid athlete). TLT, and it’s inverse, TBT, which measure the price action for 20+ year Grubvernment bond, is moving in favor of TLT. TLT measures, or is a close measure of, the risk appetite that exists within the markets. As TLT falls investors are looking to put their money to work in the private sector and as TBT falls, TLT rises, the risk-appetite is disappearing and individuals are not willing to put their money at risk and are, instead, looking to put their money to work in the leech sector.

Some of the foreign stock exchanges have begun to fall quite strongly and some of the bonds I follow are also getting hair cuts. The Hong Kong Stock Market, for example, tumbled a strong percentage over the last few days. Oh well, new semester begins, who cares about the Market when learning is on the table…
