the new fed chairman janet yellen has almost no honeymoon, must confront the prospects the economy may slip into another recession, the fed reverses its decision, moves to increase its bond buying program, $100B/month. dallas fed president richard fisher who has become a member of the federal open market committee in 2014 resigns from his post in the middle of the year. saying that the fed is acting irresponsibly by refusing to accelerate tapering of the bond buying program. microsoft buys yahoo! at a 30% premium and names marisa mayer as their new ceo. this is a different world when microsoft tried to buy yahoo! last. they need a wow candidate to replace steven balmer. it's not going to be alan mulally. this will satisfy investors. the company needs somebody to change microsoft culture and that is focused on the consumer. you know, we all have to do this all of us, including you guys, every year, and the problem is, it's very easy to sort of fall into what mandy said, wish-washy commentary where you make predictions you know will probably happen and then look good because you sound really smart. i've been doing this a long time, heck with it, throw caution to the winds and think outside the box. i don't have a high degree of conviction on all three of these but at least want to get people thinking outside the box. that was the idea.
