What BBN said about it

  1. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCNBC reports the IMF chief has told France to get its house in order as bond yields surge.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorJoining us is the CEO of a fictional bond-and-baguette firm.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorPlease welcome Beaumont Fallowfield-Duchamp, CEO of Crêpe Capital Partners, live from a vineyard.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBeaumont, France is in a fresh political crisis, and borrowing costs are rising. Thoughts?

  5. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampVera, thank you. We don't call it a crisis. We call it a premium-flavored opportunity to experience yield.

  6. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampOur clients are thrilled, mostly in the sense that they are silent.

  7. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSilent because they're happy, in my opinion. But the IMF said get your house in order. That sounds like a landlord yelling through a door.

  8. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampOur house is in perfect order, Vera. The order is just very creative.

  9. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampThe sofa is in the kitchen, the debt is in the garage, and the garage is on fire.

  10. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe garage is on fire? Beaumont, CNBC says debt levels and borrowing costs both keep rising. Is that the fire?

  11. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampThat is a warm glow, Vera. We prefer to call it ambient fiscal heating.

  12. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampFrankly, my firm has never been more comfortable, and I am sweating through my cravat.

  13. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou're sweating through your cravat on live television. The editor's angle says this could ripple through eurozone debt markets. Does your ripple have a plan?

  14. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampThe plan is a very long lunch. Two hours, minimum. By dessert, the yields will have either calmed down or become someone else's problem.

  15. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHonestly, I respect that. A lunch-based fiscal strategy is more than most governments have. Beaumont, pin it down. Do you personally own French debt?

  16. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampI own a great deal of French debt, Vera, and also a hat.

  17. Beaumont Fallowfield-DuchampBoth are unfortunately heavy, and I cannot take either off in public. #$%&! it.

  18. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWe'll have to leave it there, Beaumont. Temporarily unrealized, as I always say.
