Here's a good link on China's numbers. Something doesn't stack up - http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/finance/ambroseevans-pritchard/100014380/china%E2%80%99s-very-mysterious-data/

Impossible, because every American company and bank seems to employ the 'smartest'. Read the corporate propaganda, hear the useless soundbites - they all repeat the line 'we employ the smartest people in the country/world'. I've always wondered how that's possible......

China's different it can't happen here! I've heard that lines a few times in the past :)

Always be wary of corporate propaganda when it comes to telling us how bad the shadow economy is. I always love it when they build the good old 'terrorist' threat into the mix, as in 'terrorists are rumoured to be be using fake good productions lines to finance their attacks on the free world'.

One thing you have to remember about all the bimbos and ex-wives getting fat divorce payouts is they haven't a clue about how to look after and manage a large sum of cash. So chances are they're going to be royally ripped off by those nice and ever so helpful financial managers and planners...

Just out of interest, why would you want a billion+ $ and why would you need that much cash? And please, try to be a little bit more original than saying 'jet, 2 boats, 6 houses and 20 cars'. That lifestyle isn't really anything to be envious about, or that enojoyable, but of course that's...

Slvie is very good with her analysis and broadcasts, no looker of course, but CNBC is a financial channel not a bimbofest. But then American TV is all about looks, never any subtance (plus the importance of making things 'fun'). Which is bascially why their news and other affair programs are a...

I like the Kyle Bass point. When he saw Barney Frank, Frank informed him that the US had just given the IMF fund $50billion (or some such number). Bass said 'how can we afford it', Frank replied 'we didn't actually give them any cash, it's just an entry in a ledger'. So Bass said why not...

I got laughed at over the weekend when I said a military coup will probably happen in the US within 5 years. But it won't be 'planned' it will just happen, and the grunts will force the issue. Look, the politicians are out of control, and as stupid as they look, they can't actually be...

Just wondering. If you do find someone to put you up and they perhaps don't agree with you on some of your points will you tell them to 'get out of your sight and die'? If so, something tells you me you're going to be looking for some new accommodation very quickly :)

Charming. Remind me not to invite you into my house.

You never know though, exceptional circumstances might force someone, even you perhaps, down that line of work.

Sadly in the UK there's been a spate of family murder sucides over the last 6 months. Father killing the wife and kids, then himself. You can bet jobs/debt is the cause. Is it better for everyone to go or rather just the father and then leave the wife and kids on their own, no income, no...

Money management can be a great edge which is why there are some professional Craps players. And Craps as we all know comes with no edge.....

I think you'll find for obvious reasons that 'premium returns' is not what they're after at all. Instead think capital preservation + a few hundred basis points performance over general inflation.

Common sense I would imagine. Remember this, people not involved in the financial markets are complete morons when it comes to performance expectations. They think that 'money makers' should operate like an oil well, ie pump the same amount of profit every month. They cannot understand...

It's hard to any country to succeed without proper infrastructure, and if anyone has been to India it's not even 3rd world, try about 7th. It's all about foundations, build a house on straw and it might look good but it won't last. Sure, there might be a lot of people but it's hard to think...

Bet the fees still rolled in to the partners. And perhaps some of these funds will close soon, and the investors offered new shares in a new fund, then BINGO - the high water problem is no more :)

Got to love how easily it is to brainwash Asians. In my opinion 80% of them are incredibly naive. And no, this isn't an anti-Asian comment, just stating a fact.

Shocking that the bid-offer was 2 ticks wide some of the time yesterday.
