Australia - The Lucky Country - On borrowed money.

Accident Man Killed After Car Slams into Parked Truck in Phuket
The car was never doing 180 kmh - the force of impact threw / dislodged the needle in the speedo, thats all.. I've seen this numerous times on news reports here in Thailand where the 'final speed' is reported from the stuck-needle (speedo) and doing so is flawed at a very simple and basic level. I'm astonished at the amount of crashes with stationary objects there are here in Thailand - its as if people become so complacent when driving they don't feel they need to look ahead where they are going. I've excited numerous taxi's mid journey because the driver refuses to stop watching a video on the phone he's placed on the dash... So many drivers here seem not to understand the risks they place themselves and others at with carelessness. -

Wall Street Journal Dunks On Trump In Stinging New Editorial
I see you persist in your highly amusing 25 year predictions of the market. Something a real hedge fund manager would never do, as they know the variables are far too great to make 25 year predictions. Even when you move the goal posts to now claim you meant "indices see new highs". That's not what you claimed the last time, but even your latest "predictions" are so much toilet paper, since the Dow Jones will very obviously recover way before 2027. Bringing up Japan's economy to bolster your claim about the US economy merely shows how you have no arguments, of course the US economy is not Japan, and the conditions are vastly different. By 1990 the Nikkei fell by 50% percent of its peak. Something which has not and will not happen to the Dow Jones within half a year. Japan suffered from a myriad of systemic issues that do not afflict the US, and the US economy is massively stronger than Japan's. Again, this comparison merely shows you're clueless. The longest bear market in American history lasted for 630 days, which is 1 year and 9 months. Predictions are 2 a penny, sadly I've not seen a single prediction of yours that's ever come true. I'm starting to think your millions are Monopoly money. -

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
Following on from my post, "The World will Tremble" in which I mentioned the Nazi death/concentration camps, I started to watch the series "The Narrow Road to the Deep North" and the brutal treatment of prisoners by the Japanese was also a very grim feature of the series. I haven't watched the full series yet, but will finish it over the next couple of nights and no doubt there is more cruelty to come, and this made me think about how war seems to turn every day average citizens into brutal murderous fiends. As for the Japanese treatment of prisoners of war, well it wasn't just confined to POWs, because if one reads the book, "The Rape of Nanking" then not only does that outline the heinous crimes committed by the Japanese (ripping unborn babies out of pregnant mothers and parading them around on the end of their bayonets) it also contains some gruesome pics. Iris Chang, the author who researched this particular book and others relating to the Japanese treatment of Chinese folk, later committed suicide and it was posited that the depression she had been fighting for quite some time was as a direct result of the research she did into these atrocities. -
