* I bet the
oil prices will be stable and back up to $80-90 range. In the mean
time, some ventures such as oil sand and some high-cost drilling are not
profitable. Tesla users wonder how much they save in gas comparing how
much premium for the car besides. I believe some oil companies are in
bargain bin esp. those who can survive. They are winners and losers.
*
Airlines are winners. My recent SA article on airlines. I expect very
good profits until Q2 next year. I forgot to add "strikes" is a con too.

China is in a dilemma. They want to set up an example to lure Taiwan
back to the motherland and want HK back to normal. The youths are too
naive to fight against their parents.
* Putin seemed to be the master of chess. Now, he lost his Bishop.
* Ireland is a mirage of an economical miracle. No pot of gold.
*
Minimum wage is a mirage for sure. Many workers will work for less and
have to pass the cost to the customers. More factory jobs will be moved
to foreign countries. Let's compare it to a college graduate makes if
s/he can find a job.
* I have a post saying "No innovation is the
best innovation". Examples abound from the new version of Windows to
start to the airbags today (or the problem was there on Day 1). I rest
my case.
