St. Lawrence...I'm sure its been said by somebody else somewhere...or at least thought, <G>.

He seems so sincere whenever he's on CNBC...but he must have an audience or I'm sure he wouldn't be on so often.

I read a very good book a few years back, The Death of Money, by Joel Kurtzman...its old news now, but we financially unsophisticated masses should be aware of a few things that Kurtzman explains in plain language.

"Megabyte money" has created a whole new 'system' that isn't readily intelligible to the "FOLKS" in TV land.

I think that it would be more accurate to describe the 'Two Economies', currently referred to as "Old" and "New", as "Financial" and "Real", as Kurtzman does.

If people aren't aware, or choose to stay in denial about this huge paradigm shift, they will be at the mercy of what Kurtzman called "The Centerless Whole"...[chapter 16 of the book]-

Its all about Marketing driven volatility and the 'fruit' of the chaos...Transactions.

Squeezing Juice...

Divergent Markets...the shell game.

-but I love to watch it GO!

I don't even trade, I watch CNBC because I think the marketing is an Art form...from the BB's like SI, to the TV ads, to the "talent' on CNBC.

I Love It!

-but I'm strange...
