ARBITRAGE ANDY CHRISTMAS LIST
If you’re anything like me you wait until the absolute last minute to start thinking about Holiday and Christmas gifts. While we will drop our official Christmas list on Monday, here are the three most popular items from last year in case you want to get ahead on shopping and avoid crowded places. I included some of the best new finance/crypto/defi books as well.
I typically keep my gift recommendations within the finance/lifestyle category.
Wall Street Bronze Bull Bear Statue - This is perfect for a trading desk, side table, or an ornate oriental rug-laden study. Goes great with a banker lamp as well. I have 2. AVAILABLE HERE
Bar Cart - I have this same bar cart in my New York One Bedroom and it is excellent. Plenty of room for wine glasses, whiskey glasses, and bottles of liquor. I keep mine stocked with Patron, Maker’s Mark, Wine, Tanqueray, and Scotch. Some assembly required but if you can’t pull it off, seek help. AVAILABLE HERE
Select Humidors - I have become a bigger cigar guy over time (I am 29 now) and there’s nothing worse than keeping some nice cigars in your sock drawer where they aren’t the only thing that becomes crunchy. Keep them moist so you can blow smoke like a true Narco. AVAILABLE HERE
Top New Finance Books for Gifts/Stocking Stuffers
Looking forward to expanding on the Christmas/Holiday list Monday.
Wishing everyone a relaxing Thanksgiving with family and loved ones. Unfortunately, I expect hard times ahead for this country, so take a moment to be grateful for everything you have and to understand how fortunate we are to live in a place where we are able to celebrate and congregate. It will take strength, discipline, and grit to weather the coming social, economic, and cultural strife but we will keep continuing to provide you with Alpha and ARB.
