Hi Mike & all, Mike, sorry to borrow your quote as the launch pad, but you sez, "Wish life was so simple."
well, even the esteemed Prof Paul Krugman has acknowledged, on the NewsHour show last Fri,

that the psychology of self-fulfilling prophecy [even though I am econometric challenged, I believe 'expectation' is a component of most models, but this goes beyond 'expectation' to the point of "if you build it, they will come..." <vbg>]
In that sense, life can be that simple... not unlike the internut stocks, with enough nuts to believe in them, the stocks can outperform anything. And some can even make it for real by using their hugely expensive but low cost currency [share price] to buy some real cos. To take a quantum leap [of faith,] despite the cancerous banking sector in Japan, it is still a hugely profitable country with great products, it is a matter of getting the groove back by believing the little train still can!
best, Bosco |
