Global Growth Trends: Asia and Brazil

the underlying affect (sic effect): Much as I luv Brazil (affect), I'm even more interested in its effect on my notso portly Folio, so I did appreciate your delving into the followon--into actual Petrochemicals, as the new deep ocean drilling discoveries come on line.

I was hoping you'd also contrast Brazil's agriculture with India's: Blessed with a more temperate climate in its agricultural South, where all those soy beans grow, Brazil is maybe not as susceptible to draught as more tropical, monsoon-reliant India. There is also considerable irrigation, esp. in the Sao Francisco River valley--an immense region in Central Brazil given nary a mention in the financial press.

Cramer's Stop Trading! Transocean Avoids Terex's Fate (2/12/09)

Fire yer HeadLine Writer, who conflated a positive mention of RIG with FCX;s secondary offering, which "avoids Terex' (sic) fate".

BTW, even a "MoRan" knows ya needs a li'l 's' to form the plural, even when a word ends in 's' (or 'x')

Our Biggest Infrastructure Need? Think Broadband

Noone (a phantomlike denizen of OptoMystic lightwaves) mentions--in the same breadth, if you like--Corning's further advantage, much more important than its leadership in inventing and developing "mainline" FiberOptic cable: their (relatively) new bendable cable for "local" hookups. Think apartment and office buildings, with so many angles and bends, formerly cumbersome, but no longer so. This product is bound to take off; hope it's just around the bend, so to speak.

Time to Start Nibbling on Corning

How out-of-it do you have to be to characterize Corning--the inventor of FiberOptics that rode that wave of cross-country (and ocean) laying of cable a decade ago--as so-called "low tech" company about to go out of business? He must be confusing the company with the stock--while, moreover, remaining clueless over the rest of Corning's business. Their new bendable fiber could fuel the next wave of installations: buildings, apartment complexes and, finally, the elusive FTTH (Fiber To The Home).

And can a resurgance of Deisel motors be far behind...

BTW, anyone who types "P/E of 3 days" (should've inserted "just" after '3') isn't even paying attention to his own "production.

A Look Inside the Mexico ETF

And I don't understand how you can label "NO INFORMATION" (Shouting, no less!) to a coupla paragraphs that inform this CX Shareholder (EWZ/Brazil, and EEM/Emerging Markets) that not only is EWW unencumbered by Pemex, more than 1/3 of its holdings comprise CX and American Movil (Is that Carlos Slim, or does he have the other one?).

And since when is digesting, encapsulating and passing on such succinct information a matter of "re-wording"? How else to you pass on simple stats?

As for "waste of bandwidth", howsa about taking Yahoo to task for not only wasting same but misdirecting users to each and every Fools article that mentions, even in passing or as an example of past performance, a given Stock?
