How does hindsight relate in this context? These are all facts.

Yeh, Black Caviar is a specialist sprinter, anything over 1400 and you would have to give it to Frankel at this point, 1400 would probably be the ultimate test for both of them. Frankel vs So You Think (now his finally being trained right again) at 2000 would be a mega-race! If Frankel could...

That was an overhand right. It is probably the most effective punch to knock out a tall guy in one punch (watch Roy Nelson use it). You can also (if the other fight is orthadox), slide to the right and throw a straight right. It's very effective, you can see Nonito Donaire use it a lot...

But completely irrelevent. Black Caviar had two muscle tears during the race, travelled, bad ride and still won. Incredible performance. Soul finished 4th and only a length behind her in this race and in Australia, Soul would never have even seen her dust he would be so far behind. If...

I completely agree with meditation being brilliant and something that is practiced throughout the day, not just in one little sitting. That said, I just don't see anybody seeing the incredible results you see in the first week. I hope it continues, but I imagine its more placebo at this point...

Black Caviar in the Diamond Jubilee in several hours, bring it on! There is talk now if she wins today at Ascot, she will end up going to Hong Kong to win the global sprint challenge, which will be the first to do so since Takeover Target.

You have mastered meditation in a week? What a load of BS, anybody who has learnt meditation knows its like any other skill, it takes a long time to learn and see vast benefits from.

Yep, I don't waste any time on facebook. Those who I put time into, I talk to regularly, I don't need to social network with them via the internet. Everyone else I've known, I couldn't care less about talking to again.

Why do you have to significantly impact society? Significantly impacting the lives of my close friends and family is vastly more important for me now days and that requires < work than what a lot of firms will want you to work. My best times in life = balance. Pushing something hard for a...

Yeh, that was a terrible decision. Guess karma is a b*tch because Marquez was robbed in his last outing against Pac.

Yeh, brilliant race, he destroyed them. So You Think also had a good win and I hope (and there is talk) he will line up against Frankel in his final race before being retired to stud. I would also like to see Frankel travel to Australia and try his hand at the Cox Plate against a couple of top...

Have you ever worked in a job where you wanted to alter the way things were done but you couldn't, you were stuck in a system? It is the architect of the system that must alter the moving parts. Everybody else is doing the best they can within the system and human nature will always include...

This is my point, Governments/Central banks need to regulate the industry better. The best minds who actually see it coming (and hence profit) are all in funds management. Governments are reactive, not proactive. Hence why markets always look over the edge of the abyss before recoiling on...

Yeh, your talking about yourself. Learn what the money supply is and what credit is. I posted a basic link to it above. They are different. Entirely different. One is the currency, one is actually created out of thin air. Amount of credit is over 10x the size of the money supply. Even a...

Funding for a presidential campaign do not mean the backers select the president. A lot of times, a president will not address the issues his backers want addressed (see George Soros for example who backed a large portion of Obamas last campaign yet does not anymore given his actions in his term...

Exactly. Most people don't understand fiance and economics yet talk like experts. A lot of these things were created for good reason, derivative creation got out of control (no regulation) and even legitimate derivatives like crude oil futures liquidity now consists of about 90% speculation...

Private banks issue credit based on their allowable reserve requirement and prudential supervision (which is what Social Leper is talking about with Things like regulatory oversight, lending laws, etc also play a role), basically private banks are dictated as to how much credit they can create...

Don't disagree in the long-run Mr Positive. History suggests no fiat currency system can work for good. It is a quick way for people to increase their standard of living and creates boom-bust cycles. The derivatives just add more complexity to an already unstable system.

Ibanks took a cut already on Greek sovereign debt in this current European crisis. I believe it was a 50% haircut? It was all part of the current round of bailouts. They coudn't take a haircut in 2008 because they were being bailed out, a haircut is when you agree to take a lower % for every...

Yeh, Greece needs a massive currency devaluation, that is the problem with the European Union, too many structural differences between countries and all have to abide by the same interest rate, without fiscal policy being in sync or Euro area bonds (which means the Governments must borrow on...
