Half!?! UH! You haven't heard of TIVO or HD DVR or VCR type technologies so that you can time shift?? hehe ARE YOU NUTS??! Phil is very mad with you for watchin crappin in your wallet, he also said friday where you gonna get your info from - IBD, Barrons, CNBC? ARE YOU NUTS - the smart money already made the big bucks off that info LONG before it gets talked about on crapping in your wallet or printed in IBD. hehe phil so damn funny! But he is pushing FRED - I gotta tell you Slagle, few years ago in south georgia - lots of the trailer Hank Hill type women were really liking freds in little towns like adel and moultrie and such - hehe. My aunt was so happy when FREDS came to her little town - hehe. But just because fred has found a bottom and did not go down more when the market went down, does not make me believe a lot of new money will be coming into freds and make it go up - so I couldn't buy into phils fred. I watched the bhagwati and used Dscaler to record crappin in your wallet to my hard drive. Hoenig - HAHA - that guy cracks me up - he has a lot of energy - I remember one show he wore some money mascot uniform to the show - HAHA - it was hilarious - ole mr. capitalistpig sure is a character. Ole Hoenig must be reading General Chen - he said he bought a million dollars of GOLD - HAHA - friday at the close I jumped into some DELL and some VDC - not gold - what kind of capitalist buys gold? HAHA - what a silly captilalistpig!! I like him a lot too Slagle, he has so much flair - really entertaining. I see they talked about Natural Gas gonna be good in a few months - weren't you pushing a few of those? Ole Hoenig said he was getting out of the utility sector - ARE YOU NUTS?!? Jim rogers was just on an hour earlier saying he was buying up small utility companies - remember buffet was down here in FL looking at progressive energy a few weeks back - I think him and rogers are right - the new legislation on small utility companies being changed will bring lots of buyers to the table to acquire them. What small utilities are in your portfolio? The Brain and joe kernan on CNBC even talked about that legislation and how they thought their boss GE would buy some utility companies. Hoenigs call on that spanish company, well during one of the commercials Bay news 9 advertised with 5 billion dollars in hispanic money that tampa was the second larget hispanic market in the nation!! I thought texas or california would be - hmmm - dont know I agree with those numbers - anyways maybe he is dumping at the wrong time on that one - now is the time to buy SPANISH!! It causes a shift in the balance of power from the individual nation-state to unaccountable and remote power brokers operating in a lawless international environment. And worse, it causes the creation of a VAST pool of extraterritorial capital that is then used to BRIBE politicians and governments around the world. It is as evil as Satan. I have posted academic papers before that 2050 going forward - the concept of nation state will diffuse as the world melting pot mixes. I mean I assume you are a good ole white boy american - and you married a brown skin phillipine - so you are attributing to the mixing of the melting pot. I want to follow in your shoes - hehe. You make good points, I agree with some, but what is the best way to combat corruption and cartels? Even before this great age of globalism, Mr. Perkins talked about how the USA supported cronyism and corrubtable people all over the world. Was our government really accountable in those years when they were assissinating 3rd world leaders who didn't toe the party line with thier CIA jackals? I think not Slagle. If you watched that other Cspan special I posted for El Mat about the robbers of the USA - greenspan and politicos and economists from this country are NOT accountable and have fleeced you for a long long time. Global competition may expose thier problems when GM can't make cars here anymore but must go to Africa to make them. (unions in cars and airplanes not gonna survive this globalism - will it cause the downfall of the worker globally to the interest of MNC - interesting question) What is going to clean up CHINA - locking up their borders or making them transparent and capitalistic multi global type? Bush SAYS he wants to help the rest in the world, I wish I believed him, I want for a world where the rising tide lifts all boats. So going forward, to help your female relatives that are being exploited - should we throw up trade barriers and stop global trade - I thought bubba fred saying as they become more globally integrated and capitalist - they will demand higher standards of living and more rights and this will make things better for them long term - you disagree? Bhagwati said labor supply is LIMITED, and the global train to the bottom is finite and won't continue at its recent levels for much longer. He said to bear a little more pain and in 10 years see if he was right or wrong. In the spirit of Carter, I open my bible, I read about the tower of babel - the globalisation effort of biblical history - how did it grow - how did it collapse - it was the boom bust recovery of ancient times - hehe
