Bitcoin. The early days.
Indeed. Warren Buffett famously has a cash stockpile of over $350 billion because he can't find sensible valuations to invest in. He's sitting it out but he'll pile in again when a correction resolves this. A case of irrational exuberance occurred on Wednesday night, when the S&P500 Futures market rose overnight more than 70 points from Wednesday's official close (related to Trump's tarrif activity). Spotting this, and knowing that it would invariably revert, I put several pounds per point on it to go down. As of Friday night, it's fallen around 200 points, and it's not over yet. However, it's probably too late to get in now so please don't try. If I ever spot a similar opportunity on Bitcoin, I'd short that too. -

Report Thailand's Future at Risk: Education and Job Woes Loom
" where many of my Thai colleagues were issued from affluent middle or even upper classes and had supposedly the best education, including often years abroad (UK, USA and so on). I noticed that most could not "think out of the box". Also, struggled when having to consider uncertainties and multiple scenarios, mapping out decision trees." There's also the arrogance / extreme arrogance factor. I worked for many years in the Bkk office of an international management consultancy. Local manager was a very highly qualified / very capable / well experienced Thai man, educated in the IK and Us, had 2 Ph.D.s Rest of the staff (about 30 folks) all Thai except me - foreigner, I was there as a regional director based in Bkk beause that was convenient for regional work and my family in Bkk. Just one incident: -Young hi-so Thai girl from very wealthy family, never worked, just returned from the USA with 2 MBA's, was employed as a junior, on start day she came to the office and left several bags and several pais of second hand shoes on the floor right at the GM's door, bocking the door. But didn't stay. One after agreed start time GM requested the Admin Mngr or try to find her. Calls to her family indicated she had left the family house (with her driver) quite early. Calls to the girl not answered by anybody. About 10:30 a.m. Admin Mngr went to a nearby big cake shop / restaurant to buy cakes, donuts, sandwiches, drinks that would be needed for inhouse meetings that day. Admin Mngr instantly noticed the new girl sitting laughing with several friends. Admin Mngr approached and said 'today is your first day, you should have been at the office before 9:00 a.m. Girl responds 'don't be so serious I will come when I am ready and don't try to embarrass me in front of my friends'. Admin Mngr calls the GM and shares the above. GM comes on the line and tells her 'be here within 20 minutes'. She doesn't arrive. Admin Mngr and GM try several times to call her but no answer. Next morning she arrives at 9:15. Admin Mngr tells her to go to the GM, s office. She refuses and starts to move all the books files personal items etc., from another desk and has put her belognings on that desk. GM comes and asks her 'what are you doing?' She responds I don't like that other desk, I want to sit here'. GM says 'Is your driver with car waiting in the building carpark?' She resonds sharply 'Yes, why?' GM says 'you're dismissed right now, tell your driver to get here now and take your things and be totally gone within 30 minutes.' Five minutes later her father calls and insists that she has done nothing wrong and insists that her dismissal be withdrawn. GM responds. 'No and there's no further discussion' and hangs up. That incident was shared with all new employees for many years, no names given. it helped to get new employees to understand that that they cannot play games, try to control anything. It worked. -
