   it is a commodity fund based in London and managed by Pierre Andurand and Denis Crema. Volatility in energy prices benefits some.

   Instead of shorting $US, they actually burn them. They will then replace them with cheaper dollars in the future.
   All profits are on paper.

   If I go delinquent on my rent, can I get my landlord to ‘modify’ my rental contract? Will the mod gt some federal funds?
   Just asking. With no bonus in sight and job in jeopardy, the midtown studio is kind of getting really difficult to live in. Will someone keep me in my house?

   It would appear that it’s the fund run by the guys that know that cannoli is already plural.

    hey, EricM? Suck it:
    “Cannoli, Cannola (plural) in Sicilian, are Sicilian pastry desserts. The singular is cannolo, meaning “little tube”, with the etymology stemming from the Latin “canna”, or reed. Cannoli originated in Sicily and are an essential part of Sicilian cuisine. They are also popular in Italian American cuisine and in America are known as a general Italian pastry, while they are specifically Sicilian in origin.”

    @14 from your own paste “The singular is cannolo” … “Cannoli originated in Sicily and ARE an essential part of Sicilian cuisine”

    21, are you functionally retarded? The plural of cannolo is cannoli.
    It’s saying that in Sicilian it’s called a cannola, but in Italian it’s called a cannolo.
    Either way, the plural in BOTH languages is cannoli.
    Idiot. Stop talking about shit you don’t understand.

    looks like Adurand’s daughter works for the firm as well. Here’s part of her description
    “From 2000 to 2005, working across Europe and the U.S. she was self employed and dealt with her modelling contracts and clents directly”
    I thought, “wow she was a self-employed financial modeller. impressive” Then I thought “get you mind out of the gutter fool, she was a fashion model”
