My great grand father was his professor of philosophy, himself a student of Stoicism. While I have all his books, I must admit I've never been able to get beyond page 1.

Interesting how these mega corporations spend so much protecting their patents, copyrights and trademarks yet are so adamantly opposed to paying when they infringe.

I just don't get all the negativity when someone is successful. Can you not rejoice at others' good fortune? Maybe he will lose it all tomorrow, maybe not. I sense loads of bitterness, failed efforts that this kid is somehow projecting back with his success.... little old angry men.

You might want to take a break from the opium.

I'd go even further by suggesting that coupling is safer than decoupling, that the intermix of social, cultural, economic and politics reduces the threat of war. Europe is the perfect example; after millennia of wars, we are now so intertwined that war amongst ourselves seems preposterous...

Lol... California experiences that several times a year.

Right, robotics, AI, applications.. they will replace many humans and will require other humans to repair them. But your barely skilled blue collar workforce will definitely have no work and life balance because they won't be working at all.

That's a subjective answer. I don't know where you live but I would bet your minimum wage is different from where I live, yet we probably both live in modern countries. Average income in Europe is US minimum wage. Is that decent and dignified? You build a strawman with your worst of worst...

Yes, if we wait long enough the market always goes up. The key parameter isn't the market going up, it's time.

Ok, I can understand that argument. So how do we determine labor value if supply and demand doesn't seem appropriate to you? For a right wing guy you suddenly buy the union "fair" wage argument? I'm all ears... See, the Germans have strong unions and high pay (not as high as US but highest...

So many parameters to address, starting with eye sight...

Haven't read such an insightful and captivating article in a long time, it's refreshing thanks.

That what I was going to say. China didn't come begging for the western world to manufacture there. They supplied, we demanded and everyone was happy. 10s of millions of good paying middle-class jobs? You mean union labor manufacturing jobs. The problem with that is US union labor makes 150k...

Taiwan doesn't have many natural resources, although China's takeover of Taiwan would give it much greater control over the South China sea and its riches. Unlike Vietnam or Korea that were under Chinese rule over a thousand years ago, Taiwan's history is closely linked to China, enough for the...

I laugh reading these serious, authoritative articles from the likes of BB and WSJ which project a realist, neutral stand on political economic analysis, which are neither neutral nor realist but as bias as any BLM literature. China's rapid growth has been an enormous creation of wealth for...

I knew I could count on accumulated 100s of years of experience to provide that 10k view of today's little shake up. Day trading got to me:vomit: I did nothing at all today, switched off the screen. It feels good.

Although one may want to consider other reasons than simply greed as motivation to make decisions. It is not in the US markets and investors interest to be swindled by companies bypassing accounting rules, Chinese or wherever. Either you follow the rules or you stay out, regardless of how much...

Scary looking pre market.. TSLA, NVDA, AMC, SEDG...

After 4 years of relentless attacks from the Trump administration and the yet to be confirmed covid lab leak from Wuhan, one might understand China's defensive posture and wariness towards the West. They certainly hold much of the blame though, from the transfer to dictatorial powers...
