Re: Tell me about your favorite Asian country

Shanghai is very interesting. Last there in 2002. But, we had a house, a driver and servants, so hard to know what actually living there would be like. Been to Japan a few times. Liked it. Very expensive. Took the bullet train to Kyoto, nice place. Tokyo was great, but again, I had a house and frien...

Re: Interesting times

Chinese have done just about everything to halt the slide. Up around 6% yesterday, and right now, about 6.2%; just short of 4k. Most of the time, there is about a 50% retracement on a big down. Closing in on that. I think they can't keep this market up. We are breaking down right now. Market stalled...

Shangai down over another 5% so far tonight. It is all over the place. Kind of fun to watch. Never a bear, until the last couple of months.

Re: Interesting times

So far, not too bad. S&P needs to hold 2070 (or 2072, not really paying that much attention. Puerto Rico is bankrupt, but there is no court for their problems. Our Greece, any city or state that has a huge pension obligation, without the ability to pay. Means if you are blue, you are screwed. No...

Re: Interesting times

Japanese markets open in 10 minutes. Futures are way down all over. Pretty sure central bankers are in the planes ready to parachute in more bond and equity buying, which just keeps the can going down the round.

I know, I'm alone on this one. Just enjoying the ride.

Re: Hiking the Grand Canyon

My wife and I, plus a couple of complete slug friends are planning to go in October. I think a slow raft trip or helicopter ride will do the trick instead. Don't quite get going on a vacation to work out.

I'm a huge Bernie fan. All the liberals are always quoting him on Facebook. I will vote for him. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so no use voting for a republican. I want a t-shirt that says "Bernie, the commie you always wanted". Bernie-Ross Perot ticket would be the best. Old crazy...

I think we all should so a little more respect. The Mohammed cartoons are offensive to the islamic faithful. How about we think before we do?
