I hate to say it but this is nuts. And so is #Musk. Now I'm bearish on $TSLA.

Very impressive, congrats!

You are not remembering that quite correctly. A Giffen good involves two products, where one is substantially more expensive than another. I.e. Rice and Meat. An increase in the cost of rice would force poor people with limited funds to buy more rice and less meat because that's all they can afford (to compensate for less meat, they buy more rice to gain enough calories).

But in this case, it's the "meat" (i.e. chicken and pork) which would increase in price, driving people to other alternatives where possible.

I agree. It's not like people have decided to go vegan because of these tariffs. People will still want to eat their chicken/pork, even if costs a bit more.

Not so suprising. I would expect China to be one of the world's largest consumers of oil. And that will likely only ramp up as the country continues to modernize.

Wow, thanks! I'm very impressed you took the time to respond. Much appreciated.

While I wouldn't be surprised if the stat you mention is true, how would the Eurasia Group, whatever they are, know where the US Special Forces are conducting it's top secret missions? Can you include the link for this source?

I think it's nuts that there can be "legal" monopolies. Competition ensures the best service and prices.

Never heard of $HYRE. Interesting model, but if successful I suspect #Uber will either buy them or simply replicate their offering.

Good book selection.
