Blinken

I taped a couple of the Sunday news shows (i.e., Face the Nation, Stephanopolis) and watched Blinken get queried.

Blinken is the man! He looks like a diplomat. He talks like a diplomat. And he is a diplomat. We couldn't do any better for these times.'

What more can i say?

Blinken thinks in World Peace terms.

Although i thought my analysis regarding the effects of the pandemic on national investments was very good, i failed to mention that while national investment percentages changed as a result of the pandemic, that the total market value of the Global 500 went from $36.4 Trillion in 2020 to $51.6 Trillion in 2023. This represents a 41% increase in three years.

So, the real point to take away is this. Although the pandemic changed people's views about investing in different countries, it did not hurt the economy from an investment perspective.

But then, as we are always quickly reminded. Wall Street and the markets do not represent the economy--as explained by the economists themselves.
