Katz, I think that's a valid after hours link. But maybe there are better ones.
On your stock loving you back, I think expecting love from the 'investing' mobs which is unwise, wrong and dangerous to your health.
Keep in mind that it is only the recently arrived mob which has bid the price up. It's fair to say that the great majority of them would have little idea about what they are buying except that it's the next really big thing.
They would almost certainly have no idea on market capitalisation and all that nonsense fundamental stuff. We all fit into that continuum of ignorance somewhere on the scale. The greater the amount of ignorance, the greater the dangers.
So expect no love from the mob or the universe. They are indifferent to your existence. If anything, the mob will be actively destructive of your existence, seeing you more as food than a buddy to be loved. Mobs tend to consume, like a swarm of locusts. They are not creative, imaginative, loving entities.
On the eve of the new century [10.30am New Years eve], they turned off the life support of a woman in New Zealand who had been knocked over a few days ago while picketing some place in a union dispute. She was leaning on the bonnet [hood] of a vehicle which was trying to get through the crowd. I suppose she fell and hit her head.
The last casualty in NZ of a century of mobs. Now that the government of New Zealand is planning on 'bringing back unions' and 'all for one and one for all - from each according to their abilities and too each according to their needs' we can expect this century to include plenty of mob violence, mob theft, cargo-cult concepts and 'more of the same'.
The dead woman was a member of The Greens, a political party elected to government a few weeks ago. She worked for Rod Donald, a newly elected Green member of parliament. These newly elected people had been happy and joyful. Now the political reality of confiscation, confrontation and repression has appeared and there is a body to be disposed of. They will not be grinning now.
Confiscation, repression and political bullying are always ugly. Maybe the next death will be of a person trying to get through a picket line.
There might be a lot of deaths! Depending on how seriously New Zealand is winding back the clock into the mid-part of the 20th century when socialism ruled. We are even trying out apartheid - there are laws for Maori and laws for the rest, going back to the 1840s and tribalism, which was never a great way to progress.
When will the first stock market crash be?
[Just keeping any Y2K euphoria in balance and going out in sympathy with the dead woman who would have meant no harm though to me she was misguided].
Life hasn't gone smoothly for the first baby born this century either. It was 4.2kg but now under specialist care with no public information available other than it is in trouble. Another one born 8 minutes later is fine!
The first wedding this century on the Chatham Islands looked a happy occasion. Let's hope the weddings and babies lead to much happiness this century. It was great to see infants last year and think that some of them will be around next century.
Ever optimistic,
