The game in those pits is derivatives, those highly mathematical financial instruments that few people understand but many insist are dangerous. For corporate financial officers, the universe of ““quantos,’’ ““swaptions’’ and ““principal-only strips’’ has long since ceased to be exotic.

In December 2016, Aubameyang called the world 100m record holder out for a race. “I am waiting, man.

Obama’s success owes a lot, of course, to his message–the promise to pass Democratic policies by rallying a “coalition for change.” But watching Obamamania over the past few weeks, I’ve become convinced that there’s something more subtle at work, too. It’s not just the message and the man and the speeches that are swaying Democratic voters–though they are.
