Today In History: Melbourne Cup, RBA Cuts Rate, US Presidential Election
It seems like there are lots of interesting happenings today so let me just write some thing down for the record books.
First of all, there’s the Australian annual horse racing event known as the Emirates Melbourne Cup. It’s even a public holiday in Melbourne. I had a small lunch in the office while watching the whole race with some bets going on just for social fun.
