Nothing new under the sun Pieter Bruegel the Elder, “The Battle about Money” (circa 1570, Metropolitan Museum of Art)
Heard on the radio today “De-risking” the stock market, a euphemism for “panic selling.” A fast-talking ad for “secure flip units.” In this case, “secure” really means “speculative,” and “secure” plus “flip” makes for a nice oxymoron as well.
