If he agrees with me, he by definition is brilliant.

You've probably heard of him before but be shares most of your long-term views and has a couple other books on your topics that I'm just getting into...Screwed (death of middle class Americans), Unequal Protection (corporate dominance). You both are brilliant minds.defense20http://openid.aol.com/defense20noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-6541552873493208392008-03-23T22:18:00.000-04:002008-03-23T22:18:00.000-04:00Looks like the Journal picked up your story: http://tinyurl.com/2pwzmcRaphaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17700528779966019064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-51414502139887740762008-03-23T01:09:00.000-04:002008-03-23T01:09:00.000-04:00Great post - If you had a hall of fame, this should be in it.Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06708811091120040283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-35593638469336541222008-03-22T19:22:00.000-04:002008-03-22T19:22:00.000-04:00Good Insight. I'm from India and I know how the middle class is spending Rupees on high protein food. I'm surprised when I see advertisements about cereals, protein drinks etc. Few years ago, when I was still in India, I never saw a single ad about cereals. That explains the whole thing.<BR/>My relatives are complaining about the rising food costs in India and still willing to buy. Yes you are right, wallstreet's long term is next week or couple of weeks from now. Going against the tide will reap big profits. Just we need to have strong heart to take near term losses in our portfolios.<BR/>Comments?praveenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13667970151880837018noreply@blogger.com
