FRONTLINE | Sneak Peek: "To Catch a Trader" | PBS

These videos used to be free to stream on YouTube but now PBS & Co. have caught on, charging viewers $1.99 to watch previously aired Frontline episodes. However, interested viewers can opt out from purchasing each episode by heading to PBS.org,

This episode of Frontline details the ongoing 7 year investigation of SAC Capital. Steven Cohen's hedge fund charged +50% in fees for investors but brought about +60% returns year after year.  Unreal returns produced are directly linked to insider trading.... Doesn't quite pass the sniff test, right?

Here's a sneak peak from "To Catch a Trader," but to watch the full episode click here.

German Beer Garden Picnic Table Refinshed

Fresh cuts from our drought tolerant plants growing in the backyard.

Sanded and stained our German beer garden picnic table. 

I love the functionality of this huge but narrow picnic table. 

The metal legs fold down so its easy to transport (not to mention compact). 

P.S. The cucumbers are growing out of control!
