SINGAPORE: Diversification is generally considered one of the basic tenets of investing and financial planning. Owning a mix of assets, ideally with a low correlation, including, stocks, bonds, real estate and gold, for example, is Investing 101. That is unless you’re one of the world’s most famous investors, Jim Rogers. Jim doesn’t buy into the cult of asset allocation. “I know that people are taught to diversify. But diversification is just that’s something that brokers came up with, so they don’t get sued,” Jim said. “If you want to get rich… You have to concentrate and focus,” he says. “The … Continue reading →

There is one silly argument being made among these reviews that conservatism and capitalism are unrelated. Actually, DiLorenzo, a superb colleague of mine, is more of a libertarian and true free-market thinker than a Tory conservative of the George Will mode. Understand this, and you will have a better appreciation for DiLorenzo’s approach to capitalism and its cleansing powers.

Okay…so the people teaching our first responders how to deal with a biological attack nearly killed them all with a biological accident. Ricin is one of the most deadly substances in the world. A dose the size of a few grains of table salt can kill a healthy adult. FEMA (says they) ordered a low-toxicity version of ricin for some advanced training. Unfortunately, they ended up with the real deal at full octane. It was clearly labeled as the real deal, but no one from FEMA seemed to notice. Ricin is one of the most deadly substances in the world. A … Continue reading →

The victory of Assad over the rebels in Aleppo this week marked the reversal of a foreign policy coup that began in Washington in the immediate aftermath of America’s Saudi-funded victory in the Desert Storm war in February 1991. The coup began no later than March 1991. The next phase began in November 2001 in Afghanistan. The third phase began on March 20, 2003 in Iraq. There were other phases. But two phases remain: Syria and Iran. Syria has been reversed. Iran is still on the back burner. Trump may remove it from even the back burner. Current Prices on … Continue reading →

AMARILLO, Tex.—Out on the western edge of town, right before you hit the empty prairie that runs all the way to Albuquerque, there’s a big, sprawling clothing store in the Cavender’s chain where they have about five long racks of “Concealed-Carry Vests and Jackets.” People here value their guns, and their cattle, and their crops, and their oil. In nearby Deaf Smith County, a Texas Aggie named Frank Ford founded Arrowhead Mills, the first organic-food company in the nation, causing hippies in love vans to pour into the northern Panhandle throughout the 1960s. (Frank was chairman of the local Republican … Continue reading →

We should all like to know why some people become terrorists, other than for the most obvious reason: that to kill, maim, and destroy, supposedly for a good cause or some allegedly higher purpose, is a delight to a certain kind of person, worth even dying for. In addition, I doubt that there are much more self-important people than terrorists. You might think that psychiatry and psychiatrists would be able to shed some light on the matter, but this is itself a manifestation of a modern superstition, namely that human self-understanding has made great strides pari passu with technical advances … Continue reading →

Two recent studies have found that elevated mercury levels in children were found to be correlated with the development of autism.  The authors of the first study (1) evaluated 84 autistic children and matched them with 84 controls.  Levels of pro-inflammatory blood markers (neurokinin A and B—pro-inflammatory neuropeptides that indicate the presence of mercury in the blood) were measured.  The authors found a linear relationship between the Childhood Autism Rating Scale and both of the blood markers.  Children with autism had significantly higher levels of serum neurokinin A and B than healthy controls. The second study (2) looked at the level of … Continue reading →
