Former Dallas Fed president Dick “Feral Hogs” Fisher may be worried about a major correction in amarket that is “hyper overpriced“, and he may be confused and unable to grasp that the only reason“traders are lazy” is because the Fed’s Chief Risk Officer has made them so, but when it comes to finding sources of funding there are no conerns or confusion at all. Because promptly after he officially resigned from the Dallas Fed, on Thursday March 19, the very next day the board of Pepsi announced that “On March 20, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) elected Richard W. Fisher as an independent member of the Board, effective March 23, 2015. Mr. Fisher will serve on the Audit Committee of the Board, effective March 23, 2015.”
From the press release:
Mr. Fisher, 66, served as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas from 2005 until March 2015. Previously, Mr. Fisher was Vice Chairman of Kissinger McLarty Associates, a strategic advisory firm. From 1997 to 2001, Mr. Fisher served as Deputy U. S. Trade Representative with the rank of Ambassador, where he oversaw the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Bilateral Trade Agreement with Vietnam, and other trade agreements.
