loved that book

the re-makes are simply getting better and better

each time we think 'they' cannot re-make a better show, they surprise us

i was told of an cafe in hong kong w/ three crypto ATMs, and a desk in the back doing large OTC trades

it cannot be argued that the BTC / crypto exchanges are not free markets

happy buyers and willing sellers

what's not to like

love it

Your insights should be paid for John. Much appreciated. I did a 'picking the olives from the Greek salad bowl'.

In order of importance (for me)

1- more companies are involved in less capital-intensive business models.
Agreed. No one want to bend iron, mix cement and pour concrete.
Take 10 years to recover capital


2- software and technology firms are on the rise, the thirst for capital which public markets provide has declined.
As a result of 1-, new SW based businesses proliferate, propped mostly by the Google and Facebook
NOTE: This was not left unperceived by Chinese if you witness the bastardized Chinese versions of Google, Whatsapp, Facebook and Amazon.

3- intensive disclosure requirements set in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
It stopped all kinds of obfuscation to get the hearts and minds and last but not the least, the money from the incautious


4- Tesla has not only mastered the art of storytelling to customers and investors
This bubble will be remembered by Tesla. As the previous was remembered by Emron.
Tesla can sell to the Chinese before going down to Zero

As Stockman puts it, we have gone full retard.

zerohedge.com

Hard to disagree with him. Everything is in a parabolic bubble, from Bitcoin to the Russell to the growth in Chinese debt/stimulus, etc. Even North Korean rockets have gone parabolic.

No, not everything is in a parabolic bubble, sorry, my apologies. Earnings are flat.

Jeez, what a world.

And the Fed is draining and getting ready to raise interest rates next month. And Congress is getting ready to pass a tax bill that is nothing but a re-arranging of the chairs on the Titanic so that everyone can play fiscal musical chairs. Guess who gets stuck with the hot potato when the music stops?

Get ready, stockistas. Go long VIX and gold. The train has left the station.

Yeup, F U L L F R I C K I N' R E T A R D.

Oh, how it is going to hurt this time around. I shiver when I think of it. So, so obvious.
