good morning! why are you up so early?
i am up, at ... let me see ... 5:30am, for about the past hour, because ... i thought i was either going to buy something or sell something else on wall street
i ended up not doing anything except re-learning how to turn on the heat on dual cycle air con, downing a starbucks mint frappuccino ice coffee, and xfer some moolah from a to b a/c so that employees can cash the bonus check i handed them yesterday over company bi-annual lunch at the island shangri-la seafood buffet - this year was a good year, and so each of the four got 3.5 extra months in one tranche, and they can look forward to another extra month for chinese lunar new years in about 4 weeks time
as to magical and concealed, yes, perhaps, at least certain aspects of it ... here is one hint ... progressively more massive productive tax base loss via re-invoicing made easy as enabled by globalization on massive scale, making progressively higher and higher tax bite necessary via officialdom looting of unproductive tax base (read maurice and comrades, earning interest on ever less valuable cash and dividends on ever more vulnerable tech stocks that in effect pay out nothing and never will) ... think, as opposed to simply be one of hundreds of millions of lobsters boiled in their own juice over comfortable fire
and that is just one of the many worries
while i worry, do not get me wrong, i am enjoying the worry, and ... well, i will leave it there, for now
must get back to mineralization and crystalization, before the mineral, crystal, and nutrient rich gusher freezes solid
in the meantime, like you, i am appreciative of maestro greensputin and charletan burnandkaput's effort to serve my narrow interest even as i, unlike you, try to warn folks, out of altruism, about what that fire under the pot may mean
the bubbles they see in the water are not luxurious foam bath gel in a hot tub; the tub is a pot, and the bubbles mean temperature is up; end result is not magical
the pie is not getting bigger as much as it is being leveraged up with air, and then redistributed more finely over a much larger denominator
