It is St. Patrick’s Day and I am thinking of my grandmother, who used to make the most horrific corned beef and cabbage every Wednesday night; the corned beef had a metallic sheen. So when I am offered corned beef and cabbage on this day I always shudder and decline.
It was an interesting quarter in the fixed income markets and the municipal markets in particular, ranging from "Brexit" in the United Kingdom to the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) threatening to raise the Fed funds rate yet again (sounding like "Chicken Little").
