Randy I tested my own premise, "the Chinese restaurant paradigm" - as a blanket test for the spirtuality, solvency, dare I say future profits in these difficult times, yes and cultural wholeness and happiness - last night in an Icelandic restaurant where the main course was whale blubber. Not ordinary whale blubber mind you but fresh Icelandic whale blubber, whale quota whale blubber that is dressed up as a high caloric wellness cure.
I have been feeling seedy of late. The heat? Perhaps the Asian meltdown is melting me down too. Makox sinking, sinking has done nothing to lift my spirits. And SIDBY, Jesus Christ another magnitude of problems.
Judging from "the Chinese restuarant paradigm" which I have expounded here on this discussion foruum previously....when I called the waitperson back and changed my order I was greeted by tremendous smiles, yes even enthusiasm. Yes. Almost unbelievable isn't it?
And yes... I have discovered thread a new place to invest. ICELAND! This is the probably, as you pint out, the only place in the world yet discovered that has passed the highest investment hurddle yet. Smiles. Smiles when you change your mind in a native restaurant (Is native in this context a perjorative??)
Bless me. Yes. Yes. I can't wait to share this with you.
Sad to report, however ... when I received my plat de jour, as it were, it was fried whale blubber garnished with something like a healthy Icelandic fern, or some sort of copper-colored mossy substance; it was not boiled whale blubber thank god. Small favors.
My conclusion. Certainly, I need to polish up my Icelanic, dare I say runic language skills. Iceland is you know of course the home of eating, and poetry. Is it the new home of investing??
I think I am on to something here don't you?
Good investing.
