      When Central Bankers Clash, Stock Markets Can Crash
      Fabulous article. Re China, my understanding is raw materials, especially oil, remain significantly subsidized even after recent price hike. Point being, wild and wooly as US economy is now, is China's in so much better shape? Triangulating, might it benefit from author's two-worlds-collide event? pls to further inform

      Far from Dead: The Case for 3 Newspaper Stocks
      My hometown paper the San Jose Mercury News is privately held by MediaNews Group, and it is a great paper. I made $ going in and out of the Zell takeover, and I'm ashamed I did it. the LA Times is(/was?) a great paper. As for Newscorp goal to 'increase govt-politics coverage' @#$#$@^%%^&*^*= be v v afraid...The only news I pay for is the Merc (delivered); I enjoy NYT and WPost free online. Point being? I'm no expert. Apparently a) an American style stockmarket can annihilate a lot of industries and b) American style democracy depends on a free press (re the potential c)'s to this dangling syllogism, whatever...). I'll never buy a newspaper stock again.

      Financial Entertainment TV Buries Itself with Disinformation
      I would love to believe that Big Media disinformation is or will soon be dead & buried, yet look whom it serves--not so different from BS!? Fox Murdoch; WSJ oh right Murdoch; Bloomfield? poor pathetic cnbc etc...follow the money! Notwithstanding, my portfolio's rather a train wreck right now (commodity heavy). And yes, life's not really about the money. Happy Easter to you too, Mr. C. God bless us all.

      4 Recommendations to Defend Against a Financial Armageddon
      I had my English students in Shanghai read and write about F Scott Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited", in May 2007, commenting that I thought something like it [1929] could happen again. Most scoffed, as China's market was in the stratosphere then. One student told me privately that patriotic Chinese had been encouraged to invest in their stock market, so he had put in 1000 yuan, his allowance for half a year. He lost it all...The above comments notwithstanding, dare I say, I hate it when I'm right! Thank you, Mr. Cara, for your practical suggestions. I own FXF & will look into Swiss banks.
