A Photographic "Day In The Life" Of A New York Fed Intern
By Tyler Durden
While he may not be the infamous Kevin Henry, so well-known to Zero Hedge regulars, here is another Kevin, who is not a “trader/analyst” at the NY Fed but merely a lowly intern, and who today took over the Twitter feed of the NY Fed to show what a “day in the life of a NY Fed intern” looks like.
Let’s follow.

Alas, not exciting at all, and certainly nowhere near the recent, first of its kind, video tour of the ECB’s trading desk.
We would be far more impressed if the NY Fed were to do a “day in the life” series of any or all of the following NY Fed Trader/Analysts, perhaps starting with an explanation of why the NY Fed needs “traders” in the first place, and what precisely is it that these individuals are actually trading?
We do know, however, that among the extensive list of skills exhibited by the above individuals are, but not limited to, painting the tape, the “market open” ramp, the “3:30pm pre-ramp” ramp, the “3:30pm ramp”, BTFD and BTFATH.
