I know a medical doctor who had Covid & died. He left his wife & only son who is autistic. The kid keeps on asking why they can't go to the hospital & get his dad. A friend went to visit. As soon as he rang the doorbell, the kid pushed his wheelchair hard, screaming "dad is home"

When Arbery was confronted by armed men who moved directly to block him from leaving, Arbery was entitled to defend himself. Georgia’s “stand your ground law” arguably benefits Arbery, not those who were attempting to falsely imprison him at gunpoint.
This is absolutely insane, I literally cannot believe France has come to this point.
This 👇 is Aurore Bergé, the French Minister for the Fight against Discriminations, who just announced on Radio J (a Jewish community radio station in Paris) that she’d

There was this medical doctor who got Covid because he kept on seeing patients. He will never come back to his family. Here is a parasitical politician dancing on his grave.
$PAVM One problem with treating esophageal cancer more successfully has been that there are few diagnostic tools available, like those used for breast and colon cancer, to find the disease early. However, that may be changing.

China has chosen to be independent and become a beacon of hope for the Global South rather than a Western vassal state. In the near future, together with Russia, Iran, it will transform Central Asia and the Middle East.

I have heard good things about Melvin. I don't understand why they were such big shorts in a volatile stock like $GME with low ADV that it could threaten their survival. Some people told me it was an obvious short. You don't short the obvious ones.

Why does he have to do any of that? He doesn't charge a fee, doesn't sell a book or a newsletter. He doesn't run a fund with other people's money. He trades his own money, takes his own risk.
UBS: Chinese companies produce 72% of the world’s solar modules, 69% of lithium batteries & 45% of wind turbines. Chinese electric vehicles may become a disruptive force in the electric vehicle revolution.
Increase in manufacturing efficiency and coordination/improvement in the entire supply chain lower prices for consumers, maintaining/increasing profit for the firms but we have been brainwashed into believing inflation is progress, deflation is bad.
Many headlines in the past 24 hours focused on the Nikkei surpassing its 1989 peak. However, this was in USD terms. In the local currency, Japanese equities remain nearly 45% below the levels traded over 30 years despite BoJ keeping rates at zero and doing QEs for years.

In the land of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes, subsisting on vegetables is a nightmare. I may make a trip to Washington DC where the government might be making free delivery of steak and lobster dinner.

Russia’s share of the global oil market is over 10%, & there is no one that can replace it, there is little spare production capacity—especially considering the gradual recovery in demand—even if sanctions on Iran are lifted in the near future

Bangladeshis, in general, are very dynamic, willing to adapt, do new things. The biggest difference between Bangladesh and its neighbors could be the inter-religious harmony. 98% belong to the same ethnic group, ~99% speak one language, ~90% have the same religion.

Biden is gaining about 2:1 in GA mail-in vote counts, closing the gap fast. I see the same trend in PA. If this continues, Biden wins both GA & PA.
In a 13G filing on $AFMD, Steven Cohen's hedge fund Point72 Asset Management, L.P. disclosed a 5.0%, or 5,814,606 share, stake in the company. This is up 190.73% from the 2,000,000 shares held at the end of the latest quarter ending December 31, 2020.

My brother went to China. One day he was coming to his hotel at 2AM and saw one young woman alone in a toll booth in a remote area. A lady from Kolkata, India, told me the fact that women aren't afraid to go anywhere anytime impressed her the most about China.

Now everyone says he or she was against the Iraq War. In fact, most Americans supported the Iraq War. They soured on it when they realized it was not going well and was not a sports event.

I just want to make one point. The Nazis did those terrible things not only to the Jews. They did to the Poles, the Roma, and other ethnic and religious groups and, above all, to the Russians. Most of those who perished in their hands were Russians - civilians and PoWs.

The way China reduced poverty in an overpopulated country, turned itself into a manufacturing powerhouse, is now trying to be a technological powerhouse is fascinating. I don't understand why it should keep us awake at night.

Sad daddy? The day after my dad passed away, my little boy came out of his room, looked at me, took a chair to the kitchen, stood on it & reached for something on the refrigerator. I went up & helped him get a box of tissue. He came back, sat next to me & wiped my tears away.
The semiconductor market is a global industry that is likely to reach $1T in 2031 or 2032. China is projected to consume 47.5% of semiconductors globally in 2020. It is interesting Trump is willing to jeopardise this big market assuming China won't or couldn't do anything.
“[Qualcomm] lists Chinese competition as a risk in its annual filings. Last year Chinese sales made up $11.6bn out of Qualcomm’s $24.3bn in revenue. A HiSilicon liberated from Huawei would threaten those sales.”

I read an academic paper which studied the momentum stocks during the dotcom bubble - the nebulous the idea & the less funda, the better they did. You can't fight an idea.
Lost access to Chinese customers would cause the US industry $54 billion to $124 billion in lost output, risking more than 100,000 jobs, $12 billion in R&D spending, and $13 billion in capital spending.

It doesn't have to be that way. The people of Bangladesh have had great admiration for China since the days of Pakistan. China is helping Bangladesh in building manufacturing & infrastructure. Many Bangladeshis study in China.
A video of Sheikh Hasina's Home Minister, Asaduzzaman, has gone viral. In the video, a police officer is seen telling Asaduzzaman, "When we shoot, one person dies and another gets injured. Only one goes down, sir, the rest don't. This is, sir, the biggest terror."

One big challenge is not to fall into ideological traps, not to be dragged into rivalries of regional powers. Bangalees are proud people. I know many Indians will laugh at this. But Bangladeshis are fiercely independent.

I read a book written by someone who visited China and actually met Puyi. He wrote Puyi was a very nice person, adjusted to his life as a regular citizen very well.
Video: Donald Trump Jr. inspired Trump followers to form a “Trump Train” to “give Kamala Harris a nice Trump Train welcome.” He told them “to have a good time.” Donald Trump Jr. helped inspire this terrorism.

Robert Kaplan, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas said last year, ‘The dollar may not be the world’s reserve currency forever, & if that changes, and you tack on 100 basis points to $20tn, [that is] $200bn a year & all of a sudden we’ve got a tremendous problem.’
