Musings from the CU Suite

Compiled by Anthony Demangone

Congratulations, gang. We all made it through another week.

If you are working hard this weekend to get ready for Thanksgiving, remember this. While we love Thanksgiving, it is the people - not the pies, turkey, and stuffing, that make it great. Don't work the fun out of the Holiday. (I'll get off my soapbox, now.)

Now, on to the reading pile.

• 3-6 bps share insurance premium expected from NCUA next year. What is 6 bp? That's asking credit unions to dump in nearly $600mm collectively. (NAFCU Today)
• Inflation inching toward 2%. (Calculated Risk)
• The end of world poverty is in sight. (The Big Picture)
• Unemployment claims haven't been this low since 1970. (Calculated Risk) And more good news. (CR)
• Same-day ACH hits the ground running. (BI)
• Fascinating story about a Theranos whistleblower. (WSJ)

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone.
