Tokyo Markets

Word to watch for: good economic data.
And... separately... Thanks to Dave. ("anyways" apparently *not* pro enough! wtf!?)

I didn't hear the reference to "good economic data," but what was the story re "anyways,"--did you use that word first, then change it to "separately" at someone's suggestion?

"Anyways" is not a regular-business-conversation word at all, it's kind of a slangy,almost "back-water" (so to speak) expression. You were given good advice.

What had happened? I'm curious.

I said "Anyway" (sorry not anyways) and David B was like "you said 'Anyway' on air?!?!?!?!?" and he pointed out separately was a better alternative.

I see...."anyway" meaning something like "on a separate note"....yes, David gave you good advice. But don't let anyone, even David John, ESPECIALLY David John, sway you too much about your mistakes....When you make them, be proud, everybody else is out there making them too. You've just joined the club.

Mom, David is a good friend and good critic and I started the conversation.
