A bit on the economics

of things.

Interesting year,

going forward.

Its like playing musical chairs,

continue playing the game,

waiting for the music to stop,

but don't be the last one

looking for the chair.

We all know,

the US twin deficits

of current account

and trade account

will blow up

at some point.

Nobody can continue

deficit spending

indefinitely.

The world continues

to finance the US excesses

as long as they remain

the world's only superpower.

India is grossly overrated,

they are simply not

China.

You cannot have a manufacturing base,

when your trucks travel

at 12 kmph

sharing your highways

with cows

and bullock carts.

You cannot have a service industry,

call yourself an internet incubator,

when your phones don't even work.

Plus, the Indians

are probably the most

disliked race

in the world.

Simply no sense

of honour,

in general.

Indonesia,

right country

wrong people.

No bloody sense

of work ethic.

Everybody is

on the take.

It is however mine

to exploit.

Singapore,

great past

no bloody future.

The million dollared ministers

have no clue

how to push this economy

forward

with its own momentum.

We are merely dragged along

by other economies.

Bottom line is

I am however positive

for the markets,

liquidity will continue

to drive.

No guarantees,

that I can make money.

Except one guarantee,

I will not make money,

if I don't risk it.
