Expensive Commodities and the Stock Market

Sorry, that was an honest mistake...

If OTOH, BO does not stop all wars...

Expensive Commodities and the Stock Market

Seems like a useful article to me...the only investment I here I'm not participating in is defense--my assumption being that in a few months (February) BO will stop all wars, bringing a new era of peace to the world (consequently no need for new weapons). The idea we may have to replace weapons used in Iraq and Afghanistan is interesting, but would be short term.

If OTOH, BM does not stop all wars...

Jim Rogers' Picks and Pans - Barron's Interview

Jim Rogers is spot-on with regard to the growing influence of China (unfortuntely, some of us let our nationalism interfere with our pragmatism). This shift is moving slowly as China makes reforms in both it's economic and political institutions. It should be expected that China's economy will have massive peaks and valleys as reforms are implemented. I've seen a number of Jim Rogers interviews -- it would be helpful if he would make it clear that investments in China have huge short-term risks to go along with the equally huge long-term potential rewards.
