Geopolitical Rants, Moving Closer to The Truth?

Over at Mercenary Traders: The Next Global Financial Crisis... we Nattered:

MT,


I enjoy your missives and respect your opinion. I believe we are on the same page.  An earlier comment of yours...


"This is "mad at big government" idealism masquerading as an attempt to understand markets. It isn't helpful to anyone trying to develop situational understanding for the purpose of making trading or investing decisions."


Your comment... "Yes, Beijing worked very hard to make things better by avoiding any semblance of a crash or slowdown via build-up of artificial growth policies over the course of many many years..."


Just pointing out subtleties and trying to develop situational understanding for the purpose of making trading or investing decisions...


Our moniker, penned by William Safire, spoken by an inarticulate and later disgraced Agnew, comes from a distrust of big media, business, banks and brother. As an investor, if one knows or can manage to move closer to the truth, one can more accurately gauge the broader markets (the herds) potential actions and reactions in advance, increasing our profit potential or mitigating loss risk.


IMHO, some geopolitical ranting, has its value and place in attempting to understand the lay of the land, gauge the herd mentality or group think, and perhaps move closer to the truth, or fathom motive, making it a part of "seeking" Alpha.  Just sayin.
