carry trade

Carry trade is an investment consisting of borrowing at a low interest rate to invest in an asset providing a higher rate of return, typically for less than a year.

Carry trades often involve borrowing in hard currency (such as dollars, euros, british pounds, or yen) to invest in high-risk, high-interest notes issued by third world countries.

As these investments are typically not sustainable for the issuing country, most such carry trades are cashed out (re-converted into dollars) within a year - during which net returns of 10% to 50% can often be earned.
A disastrous carry trade developed in Argentina during the Macri presidency (2015-19), as both local and foreign investors took advantage of notes with annual yields averaging over 80%. The trick was re-converting the notes into dollars before the inevitable devaluations, in which the investment could lose 20% in a day.

Carsyn

Watch out. Carson’s are completely cool. But adding the Y and making it Carsyn calls for a dangerous game. They Y will make you wonder WHY Carsyn’s are even on this planet and act how they do. Carsyn’s are typically back stabbing bitch whores with dark blonde hair that become pudgy over their high school peaking years. Carsyn’s will hook up with anyone and anything in their way. Carsyn’s are pathological liars and speak blunt and rudely to people they feel threatened by.
“hey are you guys going to Carsyn’s party”

Male - “ yeaaaa I’m finna fuck her because she said I could”

Female - “ No way are you kidding me she is the biggest bitch at our school”

Carly Montevera

Carly Montevera is the best person ever. She is Marc Hall's best friend in The Louder we Get and Prom Queen. Despite saying she doesn't need a guy, she is clearly in love with Boomer Bronson. She is kind, a badass, and honestly amazing. I love her that's for sure. She is portrayed by Sydney Scotia in Prom Queen: The Musical at the Segal Centre in Montreal in 2016 and Katie McMillan in Theatre Calgary's production of The Louder We Get.
You: Carly Montevera is pretty cool, isn't she?
Me: Yeah totally. She is my best friend
