3D indeed. If I don't understand where these 80% gain comes out, I mean not understand the Nitty Gritty,that's reserved to the guys who earn living doing it, I mean just getting my head around it, I worry.

Have I discovered known unknown before?. I have track record on knowing where the profits are coming from.
Did that first time (during the 80s where the party was going on the debt of capital exported from the indebted countries. That was when I discovered fleecing. Then next one was easy. The Asian miracle of the mid 90s that became the Asian meltdown. became easy.That followed by tech bubble.

I begged guys not to do it. Right here in SI. That on a sector that I was involved. I wrote 100's of postings but they did not hear to the very end. One of the guys lost his soon to be wife girlfriend and his boat business in Florida. I saw it coming the same way I see it coming today.

I have this though process I can get rid of. I need to know the idea behind. That is much different than an Scandinavian who has a brain architecture that he can live with all the uncertainties.
We from shirtless background can't afford that.

That 80% gain, aka free lunch, cannot appear from thin air.

True. They needed that Brazilian-Lebanese Carlos Ghosn to restart Nissan as the locals couldn't

My old friend, (we started pole climbing back in the mid 80s) is here managing a power plant for the next couple of years.

I was appalled by the state of Japan he disclosed to me 3 and half years ago. He was working for Toshiba. It was obscene what he saw there. A loss of $200 million become a profit and the Japanese went back, promoted to a higher position in Japan. He told me it will go down. There is no salvataion. Toshiba went down less than 2 years after we met in 2014.

This is a guy, who like me me respect the Japanese a lot. He told me the sickness runs deep. There is no way to extirpate it. Thus the Softbank Masayoshi Son quixotic struggle to revive the dead horse Japan.

A warning. he told the whole Japan is a Toshiba.
