1. SEC approves Overstock.com plan to issue shares on the blockchain.

2. I didn’t know Linz, Austria even had gay-themed pedestrian crossing lights. No more.

3. NYT profile of Hélène Rey and her views on the potency of Fed policy for emerging markets.

4. Philanthropy should be controversial.

5. Debt securities which lengthen in maturity when the possibility of a run arises.

6. “Japanese corporate profits now generate all of the country’s gross savings.” Interesting throughout.
