Brazil: One of the Best Opportunities in Emerging Markets

Mr. Man:

I really enjoy reading your stuff and I know you're really, really smart. How do I know that? Easy.

1. I can't understand half the things you talk about.

2. You can afford a Bloomberg terminal.

Your devoted, confused reader,

Mike

Why America Won't Become Like Japan

Great article, Justice. Thanks.

G-20 Summit: A New World Order?

Great article, Ed. Very well thought out.

I would appreciate your thoughts on what may happen when "the interested parties are forced to the table". That's the million dollar (oops...the trillion dollar) question.

The Equity Pain Trade

I travel a lot and always take a Z-Pack with me. (Zithromycin).

Taylor Rules, Exchange Rates, and Speculation About the Dollar/Euro Rate

Professor Chinn...

I think you need to adjust the coefficient of the confabulator.

Amazon: Transitioning Into a Technology and 'Cloud Services' Company

Shelly, I too looked for comments on Amazon's cloud division and also found nothing. I think it's because people don't "get it".

This is a great time to accumulate the stock.

Good News: Lead Paint Litigation Victory In Missouri

You asked: "Can we lead-paint watchers also expect similar good news from the RI Supreme Court where the verdict from the RI lead paint trial is being appealed?"

That depends on whether or not you believe Judge Silverstein, who is overseeing the trial, is honest or corrupt. Considering the former major of Providence is still in jail on corruption charges ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ), I'm not too optimistic for the paint companies.

A Lenovo Nightmare

I bought a Lenovo X40 about a year and I was so pleased with it I bought an X60 for my wife and one for my daughter. We have experienced none of the problems you discussed.

I did have one minor problem with my Lenovo and called customer service. They had my X40 picked up on Thursday and it was returned, repaired, on Monday.

I heartily recommend the X60's.
