1/ Happy Monday. Here are some things in the biz world to keep an eye on for the week ahead

But first and foremost, today is World Compliment Day: Hey, is that a new haircut? Looks great.

Now let's dig in

1/ If you turned on CNBC last week, you've likely heard a talking head mention Treasury bond yields

before your eyes gloss over from boredom, stick with us

we're going to explain what treasury bonds are, why their yields are going up, and why you should care about them
2/ First, a quick definition of a treasury bond

think of it as a way for the US government to fund itself

when you buy a 10-year Treasury bond, you are the one loaning the government money
3/ Why would someone purchase a treasury bond?
say you have 1 million dollars

on a scale of stuffing-it-under-your-bed to investing it in GameStop

buying a treasury bond is about the safest thing you can do

1/ Right now, the term NFT (non-fungible token) is getting tossed around more frequently than the hottest of potatoes

a thread explaining what NFTs are and why people are paying so much money to own one
2/ One of the reasons why NFTs are so difficult to grasp is that they don't exist in the real world

they are digital assets like an image or a gif

this sweet rotating shoe is an example of an NFT that sold for $13,331 back in November
3/ But what makes it an NFT rather than just a cool gif?

for starters, it's unique

NFT stands for "non-fungible token"

fungible = something that's interchangeable

non-fungible = something that's one-of-a-kind

1/ If you've felt like stock market has been disconnected from reality for the past few days, you're not alone

this is the story of the magic bubble created by amatuer traders that broke a multibillion dollar hedge fund
2/ To understand the market right now is to understand r/WallStreetBets

it's a 2.3 million person subreddit dedicated to memes and YOLO Tesla calls that relishes in the massive swings that come with risky trades

aka heaven for the hyperactive amateur trader
3/ The other main character in this saga is GameStop

it's a mall-based retailer that is saddled with debt ($450 million as of Q4 2020) and falling sales (down 40% in last 2 years)

essentially, it's the Blockbuster of video games waiting to be eaten by a Netflix

1/ Since the pandmeic hit, it's been hard for the Brew Crew to keep the same level of camaraderie and team spirit that being in the office fosters. We know we're not alone

a quick thread on how we've been coping
2/ Like many, we've turned to fun Zoom events as replacements

We've done Sangria and Secrets with drag queens (thanks @KateNoel_ ), a Halloween costume contest (that @hankstockwell won), as well as two trivia nights
3/ We can't recommend the first two examples enough, but if the Brew does one thing well, it's give away free stuff

if we had to pick a second, it's trivia

1/ You're probably seeing a lot of "Q3 GDP Grows at a Record Pace!!!!!" headlines today

a thread on what that record figure really means
2/ The number you are likely seeing tossed around represents an ANNUALIZED increase of +33%

A more useful figure: Q3 output was about +7.4% higher than Q2 output

So where did the 1st number come from?
3/ That crazy high number shows how much GDP would grow or shrink if that rate was sustained for a full year

annualized figures are helpful when comparing data across historical periods

but can be misleading when looking at short term changes

1/ Every morning, millions of people around the world wake up, make their coffee, and check a few key numbers—200 points, $1,100 a troy ounce, $40 a barrel. Those numbers provide clues about how the markets are performing each day.
2/ We include these indicators at the top of every Morning Brew newsletter, but you don't need an MBA, PhD, or fleece vest to understand what they are, how they work, and why they matter
3/ Here's everything you need to know about the three main U.S. equities indexes as well as gold, oil prices, and Treasury notes.
