A thought crosses my mind. It is the total wrong prediction of buying foreign stocks would be a good hedge against the low valuation of USD ans slow growth in US economy. Now Europe and Emerging market are pulled down by the US mess as well. The speculators then believe the tide has changed and [...]
October 28, 2008. David H Newman and the denounce of the science?
The reading of the “Hippocrates’ Shadow” by David H Newman takes a very pleasant surprise turn at the last chapter. The author turns to using science to denounce the worship of science.
This is not science suppose to be. Science is an open mind process and ready to accept the new paradigm whenever it is [...]
The era of 70s –economic reality
The history of planning from Soviet Union to United State during the FDR time to current planning monopoly in the corp world is a very interest development.
This is the genius of propaganda or spin by the corporate interest.
What is not told in the school and the mainstream media is very clear to me. This is [...]
October 25, 2008. Pause on putting more on this website?
The respond of the server is so slow. Is this the time to quit putting more loads on it?
currency price is another subject that I need to explore more. The NYT article on soaring USD prize on International market is a result of fearing the developing world currencies will take a nose dive. [...]
October 24, 2008. Social upheaval and economic Avalanche?
David M Smick is on Charles Rose show last night. He had made a lot of boastful statements about the financial meltdown on Wall street. This is a guest that so far has the most to say about the financial world. It is the most blunted and forceful comment I had ever seen so far [...]
October 24, 2008. Market trump wizards?
Bitstream Vera Serif is much better. The default setting is only good for one session not for the time hencefore.
This is the font I’m looking for. This is much better than stupid Nambu xxxx default font. There are so many tools available to writer users. One feel at lost whenever one tries to figure what [...]

October 21, 2008. Uighurs muslim and SSF crisis
“Uighurs non combatant issue is a Chinese Human right Issue” is a biggest distortion of world wide proportion by these spin doctor on Dian Relm show today. The Gene Anotnio Taguba investigation of Abu Grah torture is swept under the rug and the Gen himself was forced to retire.
This is the hypocrisy [...]
October 20, 2008. Musing on Crowdsourcing and altruism
It crosses my mind that people talk about religious and salvation after death. Yet no one would have the gut and commitment to raise cane about the living tragedy that they witness perpetrated by their governments. That is a blatant and glaring contradiction and hypocrisy of the human nature.
I’m talking about the [...]
October 19, 2008. Sunday Sunday…..
This is a sticky note for recording on fleeting thought.
I was wasting my time again browsing the web and book-a-million for Linux information. But I have not found the information that specific to support my old Nvidia card for dual monitor. The newer version,org GNOME v24 seems to claim supporting dual monitor [...]
October 17, 2008. Crowdsourcing
The crowdsourcing by Jeff Howe is almost a defense of “free market” or “democracy” in disguise. He even quoted F. Hayak, Reagan and Thacher era achievement as a way to support the legacy of this concept.
There are more examples of how well this system of cooperation, competition work in reality.
The netfilx example, the Dell example, [...]

Oct 12, 2008 Anxiety and frustration?
I can muster the energy to accept this transaction of buying this house at this interest rate.
What is the thinking and practice behind this Real estate agent –Tran–, he really think that I’m such a stupid guy that ready to take whatever he is offering. I have no inkling to take the bite yet.

October 11, 2008. Robing Peter to pay Paul….?
I was wondering what the heck World Bank and IMF are doing this time around to let the finance meltdown spread all over the world. They would not engineer a rescue plan as they had done to Latin America, Russia and Asian countries back then.
All they can do is criticizing the Government regulatory agencies fail [...]
October 11, 2008. Hopeful future?
I was viewing the CR with Dan Rather last night. This is a rather mix person that is a liberal at heart toward the plight of the poor and black. This is reflected in his feeling of racism in US. He is impressive with the development of the latest president race with Obama representing the [...]
October 10, 2008. Heart and mind–business relation
Business of credit default swap is another form of insurance without the name of insurance to avoid being regulated by the government.
This is very similar to the reserve of the bank. Banks would given out loan 60x or 100X the amount of reserve that hold in their accounts.
Insurance company would [...]
October 10, 2008. Musing of current crisis
The interview is total boring waste of time.
Stock market slided another 700 point in the 7 day. What a disaster. When it would be hitting bottom? Good time to get in? not really.
I was viewing Paul Volcker on Charles Rose show tonight. He commented that if [...]
October 05, 2008. Still unfolding– biggest rip-off of the world
Well today EU announced a finance rescue p;an for their region. France and Germany may disagree on the detail of how much should be put into the fund, how should it be paid, who should be asked to fund it, what social program should be cut to compensate for the need in the finance market, [...]
October 04, 2008. Econ History from Liu
This is a risk to put down any thing in this text block without a backup version of it.
Henry Liu
The introduction of meta-wage benefits via pension funds turns classical capitalism into mass capitalism, making workers simultaneously into their own oppressors through a system that allows capital in the form of labor’s own retirement [...]

The blog posting feature of the Google doc is still having problem with Word Press site. I had tried again and again to no avail. This is the a work in progress. The Spread sheet is in the same state. There is a lack of information on all the secret features available on Google application. [...]
OCT 1, 2008. Smokes and no fire?
Chalmer Johnson article on the Asia time Online about US congress had just passed on Sept 24, 2008 a $612 billion military budget for 2009 is a wake up call amid the brouhaha of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package.
“One of America’s greatest authorities on the defense budget, Winslow Wheeler, worked for 31 [...]
October 01, 2008. BMW and Atlanta
I was visiting the BMW visitor center yesterday in Greer SC. The place is hustling and bustling with visitors. Some are from out of state. There are some Indians and Germans in the site. There are more workers than I expected.
