Journal of an Optimistic Contrarian

The name of my blog stems from my worldview which is naturally contrarian. I also think too many people are unnecessarily pessimistic about the world we live in, thus the "optimistic" qualification. On this blog you can expect to find random musings on a wide list of topics and my feeble efforts at poetry. I work in the financial industry, and I can also be dubbed as a contrarian investor. And contrary to popular opinion, I am not a contrarian for the sake of being one (Or at least I hope not).

An Ode to Central Bank Guvs



Whether the enemy chosen be Inflation or Recession
The Guvs hit the target and accomplish their mission.
Throughout the war they battle the Enemy Within
Which gives the enemy succor, supplies and medicine.
Where a sniper was apt, then they use a mortar bomb
The Press Conference later is handled with aplomb.
Sadly my brothers the vast Collateral Damage
The Gods of Finance they just cannot manage.
