So, Jay, seen any good comedies lately?
I even doubt the US can close its borders . . . Should all nations go protectionist all at the same time, then ... I suppose there will be a financial collapse, followed by a resource crunch for the non-trading nations, ... and all leading eventually to war.
Either way, a financial collapse is unavoidable, and a big war at some point is certainly a possibility.
This is the abyss we are staring at.
So, Door #1 and gate #2, leading to hell and purgatory.
Fine, then, me first. Staying on the hell and purgatory theme, I got some dark laughs from the over-the-top fight scenes in Kill Bill, part 1, which one might see as an artistic rendition of your market and geopolitical scenario. I prefer the softer and smilier laughs in romantic comedies (as I prefer being long equity to short equity), but nowadays nearly all romantic comedies are dumb funny, which is to say not funny at all. Sort of the way nearly all equity long plays are scary, without meaning to be. |
