Hello Manohar, real happy to see that the crew is still hanging at this street corner for a bit of liming. I am told that liming in Trinidad means hanging out on street corners avoiding having to go home and join the family from dinner. I am in … eh, where am I … oh yes, in Yichang, the site of the 3-Gorges dam, going to Wuhan today, Hangzhou on Friday, Shanghai Monday, Beijing Tuesday, then back to metropolis HK on Friday. And then I retrace my route after the weekend. It takes a bunch of trips to fill the hole 2000 left me with.
On Barrons and Cisco, I have seen the type of articles you had mentioned and with the flood of money washing over Wall Street, they did not matter. Should the psychology change, and it has not yet, though it will eventually, no doubt in a frightening fashion or in a grinding demoralizing fashion, the negative press will matter. We know this from our heroic battle against the forces aligned in opposition to our Empire of the Son, now more like the Holy Roman Empire, humbled and invisible.
I, like many here, have been wounded, though still able to fight another day, avoiding battle, hidden in a cash corner of the Unreal Tournament like landscape, hearing the screams, realizing that a salvo of rockets can still greet me at any moment, by chance or design. I wait a few more days before making my annual Christmas basket investment to finance another watch. Counting on a present from the market. Long term to me is what Christmas is. |
