James that list made me think of what Jessie Livermore said many years ago and it is so applicable:

"In every boom companies are formed PRIMARILY if not EXCLUSIVELY to take advantage of the public's appetite for all kinds of stocks. Also, there are belated promotions. The reaon why promoters make that mistake is that being human they are unwilling to see the end of the boom. Moreover, it is good business to take chances when the possible profit is big enough. The top is never in sight when the vision is vitiated by hope. The average man sees a stock that nobody wanted at twelve dollars or fourteen dollars a share suddenly advance to thirty-which surely is the top-until it rises to fifty. That is absolutely the end of the rise. Then it goes to sixty; to seventy; to seventy-five. Whereupon the average man, who never thinks of values but of prices, and is not governed in his actions by conditions but by fears, takes the easiest way -- he stops thinking that there must be a limit to the advances. That is why those outsiders who are wise enough not to buy at the top make up for it by not taking profits. The big money in booms is ALWAYS made FIRST by the PUBLIC -- ON PAPER. And it REMAINS on PAPER!"

H James: Japanese PM more or less dead? And no reaction. Goes to show how meaningless elected officials are in Japan. Imagine the second most important economy loses its political leader and --- nothing. Curious, yes? I don't know why they even have elections -- except that we would expect them to if they didn't and we would call them undemocratic little one-party fascists.... oh my, what does it all mean?
