Hello Maurice, <<tell her to send it to me>>
I think not, because while she would get a most generous interest payment from holding a debt instrument from you, she would in fact be assuming a very dangerous QCOM equity risk. If she is going to take on that kind of an irrational risk, she might as well hand the money over to me and let me invest on her behalf in equal portions of:
Hub Power of Musharraf
Zimbabwe Platinum of Mugabe
Bank of China of Zhu Rong Ji
JPMorgan Chase of Bush
And this potentially toxic portfolio recommended by LLCF (DAK):

Or she could invest in Shanghai real estate, and ride on that city’s coat tails until it becomes a nation-state equivalent:

Shanghai GDP to rival Australia's by '07
By YOSHITO HORIE, The Asahi Shimbun
SHANGHAI-Shanghai's standard of living should rival those in Australia and Italy by 2007, according to official government projections.Shanghai-with its eyes set on hosting the 2010 Expo-has experienced double-digit growth for 10 straight years, and its per capita gross domestic product (GDP) reached $4,500 in 2001.If the city can increase the figure to $7,500 in five years, Shanghai residents would be able to enjoy living standards comparable to those of Australia and Italy, calculated in terms of the yuan's purchasing power, analysts say.The Chinese government's most recent per capita GDP figures for each city show bullish estimates, especially in coastal areas that have fueled the nation's economic growth.The government forecasts per capita GDP of $7,000 for the Zhujiang Delta in 2010, while Beijing is expected to reach $6,000 by 2008.The Zhujiang Delta district, which currently has a per capita GDP of $3,900, believes it can achieve its $7,000 goal if it marks an average 6 percent annual growth by 2010.Beijing, host of the 2008 Summer Olympics, needs 9 percent growth every year to achieve per capita GDP of $6,000, about double the current figure.(IHT/Asahi: June 26,2002) |
