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.

Person 1: Sir, would you like to exchange quids with me?
Person 2: I do not understand to what you are referring.
Person 1: Ah, my mistake.
Person 3: Excuse me, I could not help but overhear your proffer of trading quids with that fellow. I would be happy to trade quids with you.
Person 1: Ah well in that case, kind sir, please take this quid and also this secret parcel as a gesture of my good will.

Shop Sell Trade

Shop Sell Trade is a business model in which a store gets its inventory by purchasing daily from its customers. It is the best way to provide an exciting and changing shopping selection. Shop Sell Trade resale shops help you fill your closet with expensive name brand clothing without forking over too much cash. SHOP the great deals after you TRADE the stuff you aren't wearing for store credit. Or....SELL your cool stuff for cash if you don't care about wearing those sweatpants a few more times (but, really, those sweatpants are ugly. Ditch them for some new ones. Jeeesh!) Twice As Nice is a popular Shop Sell Trade fashion chain.
