[Key Words: Most Likely Taiwan Tale] I like "tale". It is as imaginary as it can be as if one can predict a financial future but does not know anything about "CDMA". It is quite a conflict, is it not? :-) ""Keep track of this BBR thread and this post."" I will check in once in a while to see if CCP can keep its regime by 2020. I also want to know if Taiwan has to beg to join China or not by 2020. Things change so fast. One never knows if he is really the last man standing in a political collapse. :-) BH

Jay, here's the bigger script. 1.3 billion singing-in-unison [giggle - yeah, right] Chinese voting 99% for the one true path of Jiang Zemin are a wimper compared with what's coming: Message 20337230 Note that I don't even bothering mentioning the atavistic realm of the Aztec. By 2020, things will have moved a longggg way and Taiwan's relationship with China won't be an issue. Mqurice PS: Saddam used to get 99% votes too. Note: apparently QCOM is $3bn ahead of NOK now, and my figures [from SI quotes] were wrong.

Jay, if Jiang Zemin and co weren't so bloody minded [literally], they could do a lot worse than inspect the history of Oz and NZ. Once they were separate countries with native populations [originally from China, after migrating across the Pacific Ocean over a longgggg time, so China owns NZ, if not Oz since the aborigines of Oz were pre-China times from very long ago, during the ice-age]. Then the Poms expanded the British Empire and NZ and Oz became colonies by offering to the natives; money, religion, cargo, opportunity, sale of muskets, dividing and ruling, and in some instances outright conquest. NZ was run from New South Wales [part of Oz]. Then Oz and NZ became separate countries. Then independent countries from Great Britain, which became just ordinary Britain, or merely the United Kingdom. Now, economic exigencies have drawn Oz and NZ closer again with harmonisation of various this that and the other. Meanwhile, both are drawn closer to the USA and might yet become the 52nd and 53rd states. 53 is an excellent prime number and 52 is the number of weeks in the year, so both are great opportunities. Taiwan could have a similar relationship to China as NZ has to Oz. It seems to work fine and we never think of aiming weapons at each other, though there are some ritualistic rugby conflicts. I don't believe there's a patent on the relationship, so China and Taiwan could copy it without even paying royalties. Or, we could have WWIII which would be a LOT of fun. Imagine 20 megaton noocular bombs going off for real in populated areas. Those would look great on CNN! Provided they weren't anywhere near me of course. Hmmm, is investment management much different from government management; scorched earth!!! Message 20336821 There were no survivors from Globalstar. Or, something else entirely could happen, and probably will. Mqurice G394 vs Q725 = gee, Q has nearly doubled against G. AND it pays dividends. Did I mention that QCOM now exceeds Nokia's market cap? Giggle.
