Jeremy Bowman: Another thing I want to mention, we touched on this topic already, but I like the motto at KBW, which is, it's about more than money, much more.

More than a century ago, the Dadaists decided that art was a cheat and a lie, and set out to mock it with nonsense poetry, ballets for mechanical dancers, and a moustache painted on the Mona Lisa. Half a century later, their descendants, the neo-Dadaists of the 1960s, went further. At one of their elaborate “happenings” a naked cellist played; at another, the artist Nam June Paik jumped on stage and cut off John Cage’s tie.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s economy slowed sharply last quarter to a 1.6% annual pace in the face of high interest rates, but consumers — the main driver of economic growth — kept spending at a solid pace.
