He also sees $5,000/oz gold and many other "Better Life" ideas, some lethal mind he got.

So let me think, before gold reaches $5000 I really don't need to learn Mandarin (it only takes 10 days to learn per Pimsleur anyway), but I need swine flu shot NOW!.

Funny how world's changed. When I was in high school in Taipei Taiwan, my teacher told us better to learn English 'typewriter' typing or 10-Key punching to get 'highly needed' jobs in the U.S. I should have stayed in that country, I always wanted to be someone's boss...lol

Rubbish we don't need to learn Mandarin. If they can't speak the language i am speaking the deal is off it's as simple as that. we don't need to please anybody but yourself. Just be right on the trade. You only need to ace your maths and science.
The market catches almost everyone on the wrong side. We always seem to get fake break out before that huge dump or the hugh dump before the false break down! Trade Safe!

Still, some people want to stay ahead of the curve. There has been a great demand in NYC for Mandarin speaking nannies for at least a few years:). The desirous parents are apparently the captains of finance and industry. About twenty years ago I tried my minimal Chinese skills on the little Chinese boy at the cleaners. His mother said:"he does not speak Mandarin". Regards, F&D

I should have stayed in that country.


You must be missing those betel-nut beauties eh ? :lol:

You remind me of some time i spent in Taiwan many years back. The only mandarin i knew was Shishye. I survived on sign language.

Still, being a bilingual gives an edge. At least you know when they curse at you. LOL! :D

That's what the French were saying about English up to about a hundred years ago.

I remember in the 1980's it was being said that everyone needs to lear Japanese.

If I had to chose an asian country where learning the language might give me an edge in some sort of eastern commerce, it would be Vietnamese. I expect some industrious investor could make a lot of money via that country over the next decade or so.

Is it the 9/25/09 audio goflow is referring to?
I'm loading it right now on a non trading laptop. It's taking time (it says it takes 5 minutes) to load.
