Hello CB, Ping! Are you there?
A serious question about your Range Rover or Land Rover, produced by BMW, owned mostly by Germans, worked on by the British, that, as argued by some crowd somewhere at some time, serve to finance terror and reward evil.
Are you perhaps ready for a Buick by General Motors owned mostly by Americans and worked on by the Chinese?
Are you considering boycotting German cars and French bags, a movement that seems to be gathering steaming hoards of chanting followers as shown on CNN in Holiday Inns in China?
What happens if Italy decamps from the chicken hawk camp, as its electorates may push to do? More boycotts? Back to something or other crawfish?
BTW, your favored Bernanke's program of reflating what must inevitably deflate is sending too much loose and idle cash my way, resulting in CLSA, that esteemed French organization quoted by you not so long ago, to upgrade Money Rock Hong Kong share market from under to over weight, anticipating both abracadabra and for good measure, TeoTwawKi.
Will you continue in your possibly hari-kari way of holding Greensputin fiat, much as the Japanese held on to their emperor’s paper, or will you hedge, even if by just a bit, having to choose either that most unfriendly Euro, or the very troublesome gold.
Maurice and CB, when will you two act on Greensputin's recent explicit warning about "the point of no return” (“TPONR”, pronounced T-Pon-Rrr) in regard to manic federal deficit spending, troublesome debt load, weighty interest payment, and presumably, by this listener's interpretation, leading inexorably on to the inevitable and ordained TeoTwawKi?
Given Greensputin’s record on timing, with “irrational exuberance” and such musty thoughts, we may have up to 5 years before the event singularity T-Pon-Rrr, marking the progression continuum of TeoTwawKi.
OTOH, I agree with CB. TeoTwawKi does not have to hurt much, if at all, and should be exploited, at the crest of the crimson deluge, as many times before.
For example ...
...
What a mixed up world we live in, where up leads to down, and down leads to up, ever changing, and where bigger bubbles lead to larger bangs, with each day a new TeoTwawKi day.
What I do not understand is why you have singled out the Champaign sipping French, and not the sausage scarfing Germans.
What in your view is the difference between the French position and the German contention, is it because the former makes Champaign and the latter owns Range Rover, or is it because one does not back the US position and the other is not fronting for the US?
And what happens if and when Tony of UK ends up agreeing with his neighbors, countrymen, and press?
Chugs, Jay
FYI, my personal position on the Iraqi situation is practically thus Message 18587146 |
