Russian Bull

Gold, Viagra and Emerging Markets: Harry Dent on 2009 and Beyond

I agree with everything except his analysis of Russia (ie, "Russia is toast"). Funny, people throughout history (since the 9th century) have always under estimated Russia and Russians. Most recently, one particular leader with a funny mustache who almost made it to Moscow comes to mind...

But Russia does have a declining population problem--among other severe challenges right now of course--but I have no doubt (based on my own analysis) that Russia will come through this on the other side stronger than before.

Nevertheless, very much enjoyed this article though generally speaking I do prefer blinis and vodka to curries and tea.

The Die Is Cast

dear owen, turkeys usually live very nice lives full of experience and wisdom and valuable life experiences.

and then thanksgiving rolls around and they get their heads chopped off before they know what is coming.

i'm just saying experience and history aren't always worth the value people put into them.
