]]> Comment on Negroponte backs China in G8 by Ira Straus http://asxmining.com/2009/03/07/negroponte-backs-china-in-g8/comment-page-1/#comment-693 Ira Straus Sat, 07 Mar 2009 18:28:15 +0000 http://asxmining.com/2009/03/07/negroponte-backs-china-in-g8/#comment-693 Idiotic idea, a result of G8's cowardly PR coming back to haunt it. G8 (previously G7,6,5) was never "the elite club of rich nations", nor was it ever "the world economic summit" as it was usually called, it was always actually the summit of the Western powers. The read debate about whether to include Russia was over whether it made sense to include Russia in the summit of Western powers. It was an honest issue, since Russia is part-Western; even now the G7 continues to gather separately on many occasions for a more purely Western meeting. Including China or India makes no sense at all, except for the purpose of destroying the G8 and eliminating the existence of a Western Summit. Which obviously a lot of people would like to do. Where is there anyone today who will publicly stand up for the G8 West, and call it The West in so many words? Why are our elites so cowardly? Where is their normal commonsense pride in the virtues of the West? Idiotic idea, a result of G8’s cowardly PR coming back to haunt it.

]]> Comment on Bad year for Warren Buffett by AL http://asxmining.com/2009/01/05/bad-year-for-warren-buffett/comment-page-1/#comment-546 AL Mon, 05 Jan 2009 02:21:44 +0000 http://asxmining.com/2009/01/05/bad-year-for-warren-buffett/#comment-546 I say "Bad year for Warren Buffett headlines" because they are misleading. 2008 was a fine year for Warren Buffett - his warnings about derivatives, the economy and high stock prices came true. He was NOT heavily invested in stocks (as a % of his company), he had very little exposure to subprime, and now he has the opportunity to buy at low prices. The fact that Berkshire's price dropped 32% is more a reflection on people's perceptions than it is on Mr. Buffett.
