China -and the new world dis-order.

 

China may/should well be a beneficiary in time on this new World (dis) order. Yet I dare to observe, once again brought on by the US.

China has a few very big things going for it: 1) it has accumulated the world’s largest excess reserve of oil—about 1.2 billion barrels,...

On US stock relentless bulls.

Some 4 decades ago when I started my multiple-licence US broker career, the infamous book "In Search of Excellence" was all the rage. It sold millions of copies.. it identified the who's who of big caps. in those days. Today almost all are gone. In fact, of the 43 companies...
