Before you make any sensible comments, did you listen the whole interview of Sinclair I attached? Fair game? There are much more in that interview than I picked for this title. (oops, milbank, with all due respect, this is not about you, good I checked first before I post this
)
Quite a TV schooling for me this Sunday morning, plus some u-tube history commentary shows. Thought I share something other than my boring TA charts.
From 'The Three Kingdoms' epoch of China, king Tsao killed the greatest medical doctor at the time, because the doc purposely 'feeding' the king's headache so as to make himself too important to spare, yet the king was too smart to be fooled; only later king's most favoraite son died at age 13 because no one else can save him but the doctor killed by his smart king father.
That I see how today's medical and medicine system, the financial system, and some employment systems are operating in the similar ways....'too big to fail' for all of them. Hmmmmm.
International History Channel had a show about how Communist and Nationalist KMT were in the power struggles that ends up today's China. After a year-long retreat thru most remote dangerous terrain, an 80,000 strong Red army became 6,000 and the Japanese invasion gave them the chance to become power in Beijing today. Regardless most advanced military aids from German and U.S., Chiang Kai-Shek made me became a 'Son of Taiwan', an orphan of China and a Naturalized US Citizen. Who cares? Apparently you folks downloaded one of my chart over a 1,000 times not for that reason.
History Channel had a two consecutive on Kennedy Clans. I get to review how FDR appointed Old Joe to fix Wall Street after 1929's Crash, because 'only crooks knows how crooks operate' sez the program. How he also lost his own political future after anounced 'death of British and American Democracy' at the dawn of WWII that he opposed. You do know he made millions sold shorts into the '29 crash, right?
Went to BIO channel for Doris Day's life, first time such complete a descriptions for me. I just love this kind of American iconic pop history that parallels to the same timeframe of my own. Do you know her only son moved out of the house where Mansons blood bathed right after he moved out? And her 39 movies careers left her nothing but debts? Only her son found out about that after her husband/manager's death, that a Madoff type money manager they trusted for decades floundered all the money she'd made?
And the Bloomberg tv had a great piece about high speed trading, how banks had to spent about $2B (how much was the TARP and execs bonuses?) to upgrade with high tech and that in India same 'simple but effective' finger-print activated saving accounts pushed by cell phone technology spreading the countryside that this is so important to India's economy to salvage from that average $2.00 daily income population group to opening their saving accounts. NAV, are you in India now, how about it?
Now please don't tell me these are not 'market related'.
If you short better take out my stop below my LOL RED line, OK? I'll let you know when that happens.
