Charging on to the Internet, looking for a fight, and then leaving in a huff.

Well, actually, I was surfing Mq's posts because I was bored with the political threads until after the election. He's usually entertaining.

You just astonish me, that's all.

The way to know what's going on is to look with your own eyes. Look out your own window and see what's out there, really.

And what you've done is made up your mind about what you think should happen, and then look for data points that fit your preconcieved ideas. Or rather, your idée fixe, aka obsession.

I have no idea whether the stock market will go up or down in the short term, or whether housing prices will go up or down in the short term, I don't chase movement. Not quick enough, have other things to do that pay better for me. As I keep saying, "the market will fluctuate."

As for Zimbabwe, they're suffering from trying to avoid the inexorable effects of the monetary trilemma. There's a lot about money I don't understand but I do understand the trilemma.

Zimbabwe's fixed exchange rate bears no relationship to reality. That always ends badly.
