More fillers and recent comments

Unless otherwise specified, the following are original.


#Filler: Karma?

Are the fires of Windsor Palace and Notre Dame Karma? Now the French and the Brits would feel what the Chinese felt when they burned down the Summer Palace for 3 days and 3 night after they had looted all the treasures.

#Filler: What Queen Victoria had to say?

As a nation, the Brits pushed opium to China because they had nothing better to trade. It killed millions of Chinese.

They forced China to trade with the advanced weapons and battleships.

Now, the U.S. wants China not to trade. Repeating history in the reverse sense!

#Filler: Military might is required

China learned it the hard way at least 2 times recently, one from eight-nation alliance and the other in WW2. Do you blame Chinese for weapon research?

#Filler: Who are to be blamed?

The beautiful lady jogged in the middle of the night in a high-crime area was raped. Both the lady and the rapist had to be blamed and one should go to jail.

Should we have cameras in every corner of the street? Why we do not allow facial recognition to catch criminals in the name of privacy?

There are many similarities such as Cisco and defense department letting Chinese steal their secrets.

#Filler:  The endless wars
It causes us countless lives and countless resources in our endless wars from Vietnam to today’s Afghan. We never learned from the French on Vietnam and the Russians on Afghan. When we do not learn from history, most likely we will repeat history.

How many countries sent their National Guard to the front line?

#Filler: A better genius

If the genius asked me how to investigate Biden’s son, I would have saved him from impeachment. First, he should not ask Ukraine to do so in public. Second, he should expose Biden’s son during the election debate in 2020.

Both have committed a crime. Besides buying access, why the politicians’ children make that kind of money for doing nothing?

Chinese interfere our election by deciding on the soybean deals (or soybean politics). If the Democrat representative is more powerful than Trump, the Chinese would close the deal fast to help Trump.    

#Filler: China 2020

It would be a bad year for China due to the trade war and the high debts. It seems China has a disaster year every 60 years and 2020 is the year.

#Filler: Market crash is coming

Unless you have a time machine, you cannot predict it correctly and consistently. Advice to use my simple market timing (within using charts) described in several of my books. It gives you a better chance to time the market. If there is a false alarm, it will tell you to return to the market shortly. It is far better than a best seller that told you to exit the market in 2019.

#Filler: No respect.

I made 50% in a month (or 600% annualized) using the year end strategy. My book “Best stocks for 2019 Year End” did not sell a copy. So far, the 8 stocks recommended are doing great.

#Filler:  Why the market rises in 2019

The year before the election has been profitable for the market since WW2. The president wants to print a rosy picture.

First the corporate tax has been cut deeply and it makes the corporate rise. Secondly, the interest rate has been maintained very low. It stimulates the economy especially the housing sector. It also encourages buy-back to make the stock look better. However, it may not work in the long term.

#Filler:  Do not speculate

Many speculators made big and then lost it all. There are many examples from the hedge funds.

Do not use leverage too much including the leveraged ETFs and margin accounts.

Do time the market in a logical way. Stay in the market as we have more bullish years than bearish years if you do not time the market.

#Filler:  Buffett is right

Be greedy when everyone is fearful and vice versa. Buffett has proved it right many times. However, lately he has not invested a lot and/or too late in industries that benefit from the internet.

#Filler: Why the recent China was backward

Chinese ignored Industrial Revolution that bought them the century of humiliation.

If Zheng Ho went to Europe, Chinese would have opened their eyes and learned from the west from modern medicine to technologies.
