China is yet to takeover heavy machinery. Canadians are fuming, but the 'big bad Americans' (SIC) are fighting for survival. Men fighting for survival are not nice. It's, either, circle the wagons and put up a fight or the Chinese come and take whatever remains of industry. With the emerging markets providing lots of profits, those heavy industry giants are not going to surrender. QUOTE: The big bad Americans saw past our myopia — beyond the cash value of the plant’s physical property to size up and seize the company’s intellectual property: the innovation, trade secrets, manufacturing processes and R&D residing in London thestar.com

"Signal to noise" sure is a good way to describe and cage some of his more special moments. I'll probably end up putting him on ignore, but sometimes it's amusing to nudge him back in the direction of his cage. He reminds me a lot of a guy way back on Bonner's original DR forum who was seriously into logical fallacies, arrogance, cognitive dissonance etc., and was hugely into junior miners. In spite of all the facts and charts and encouragement to go more physical, etc., he went down about 75% in total net worth in the big crash of 08 - don't think he has recovered yet. I don't think MQ is headed there, but who knows - those 'games' he plays with a type of arrogance can be quite dangerous to one's wealth.

Would appreciate some more information why you think "the coming trading week can be exciting and informative in too many ways just on monetary / financial / economics, never mind the iran, syria, libya, ... issues" To me it seems that no one is really paying any attention to matters that should. More so in my view to date the so called Arab Spring brought about instability and very little improvement to the economic situation of the world at large, and the events in Syria proved how inhuman and despicable the leaders of certain world powers states are. As to Libya it seems that no one really knows what is going on there, and Iran as usual plays with fire until they will indeed burn the barn without anyone noticing it beforehand, as the financial extortionists are too preoccupied with the PIIGS and their next victim to be bagged, and in another financial sphere with the fees to be collected from the "super" IPO of facebook. Once “eye balls” on an internet site was the battle cry of companies valuation, wonder how much has changed since those days, in the infinite WS pursuit to take possession of the hard earned money of the populace at large entrusted in pension funds, 401K, annuities and other hoards of cash saved for rainy days, which I fear will be very rainy and with the bitter realization of the unexpected fact of not having "a place to hide" on rainy days, except under some cheap toilet paper with "eye balls" printed all over it.
