Trump Pauses Iran Strike Threat After ‘Very Good’ Talks, Grants Five-Day Window
”Markets don’t trade on truth, they trade on beauty,” Alpert said, invoking John Maynard Keynes’ theory of the stock market as a kind of beauty pageant. (For anyone who, like me, snoozed through that chapter in Econ 101, the short version is: In 1936, Keynes imagined a contest in which a newspaper ran 100 photos of faces and readers were asked to pick the six prettiest. Whichever reader picked the six most popular would win the contest. The lesson is: The best strategy isn’t to pick your own personal favorites but rather those you think other people will favor.) “If you’re trading markets, as opposed to investing, you’re focused on what other people think, what they’re likely to do,” Alpert said. “You may not think it’s good, and you may not even be sure it’s a lie, you just think that everybody else is going to think it’s good, and so you pile in with your order … When you’ve made enough money, you dump it, and that’s it, end of trade.” https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/23/business/wall-street-markets-reaction-trump

Finally getting serious about learning Thai — where to start
Utter nonsense. How do those English language teachers that don't speak Thai do it. Same in Cambodia.
-
Do you actually get out and explore Thailand ?
Learn the language but don't let them know you do. You'd be amazed how much they despise you after listening to what they say when they think you don't understand.

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?
Europe will do the smart thing. Escalate the transition to solar and wind. Trump's push to keep the oil profits for his billionaire buddies has backfired. Losing again.

When the Iran War Ends What Would Constitute Victory for the US?
Yes. You finally got it. Trump is the problem. There was a deal with Iran not getting a nuclear bomb anv Trump tore it up. His ”winning” deal will be worse than what he tore up.

27 hours 2 minutes: And counting…! And, then…???
There have been no talks between the US and Iran according to Iran. Trump reminds me of this song by Elton John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq4J_n6vMYo

Electric retreat: Western carmakers risk handing the future to China
There's still hope for North America. How it should have been done in the first place, but the greedy American car manufacturers had to keep the dual power train model so they could suck all that yearly maintenance costs from the dumb consumers. Kind of like a diesel electric train engine. Only electric driving the wheels. Gas motor to charge the batteries and supplement electricity to the wheels when needed. Nissan’s new hybrid is a U.S.-first that mixes EV driving with a gas enginehttps://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/21/nissan-series-hybrid-rogue-suv.html

Trump eyes dramatic move to break Iran’s Hormuz blockade
He's not considering it. He has decided. Thousands of Marines are currently in transit to the area. As soon as they get there, the invasion will begin.

Trump Can't Even Get a War Bump
I read North Korea is thinking of giving them some bombs. Remember when Trump One had a love affair with Kim Jong Un and said they'd get rid of their nukes? Well I guess we now know where they're going to send them.
