In this episode of "The Skinny On..." we unpack the history and details behind the recently announced acquisition of Shutterstock by Getty. This is a great case study for anyone wanting to understand which synergies investors prioritize in a merger as we walk through the ownership structure & market implications.

We then shift gears to talk about the 100 basis point selloff we've seen in 10 year notes since the fall, half of which has occurred over the past thirty days. Will 10 year notes hit 5.00%? And are there any seasonal factors to take into account behind the move?

Piggybacking off a recent article by Matt Levine, we dive a little into the hoopla around GSE privatization talk, explaining the history of Fannie and Freddie, the conservatorship resulting from the financial crisis, and you'll learn why you should never use the term "bailout" at a cocktail party with Kristen.

Finally, we react to the news that JPMorgan is requiring everyone back in the office 5 days a week, and muse upon different ways financial firms could potentially leverage a creative, bespoke work schedule to foster the ownership mentality we see ourselves in the startup world.
