I Am Not Going To Say I

Technology Is Spurring Innovation, And The So-called "demographic Dividend" Has Brought Change.

I Think Globalization Actually Maintains And Fosters Various Elements Of National And Cultural Identities. I Don't Think Everything Is Being Homogenized. If Anything, Your Food, Your Culture, And Your Ethnicity Might Become Part Of The Globalized World, And Thus Absorbed By Other Countries.

I Believe Investors Should Invest For The Long Run, So I Don't Buy And Sell. I Usually Maintain The Classic Index Of Global Equities, Diversified U.s. And Global And Emerging Markets, And When The Risk Is Larger, I Diminish The Amount In Global Equities And Put More Into Liquid Assets - But Very Irregularly.

I Think It's True That The 1 Percent Or The Elite Are Living In A World Of, Maybe, Excessive Privilege, And They Don't Fully Realize How Much Pain And Suffering, How Much Anxiety Exists Out There.

The Global Financial Crisis - Missed By Most Analysts - Shows That Most Forecasters Are Poor At Pricing In Economic/financial Risks, Let Alone Geopolitical Ones.
