maybe time for confessional Dave
interesting re lecture.
Few years back (3 or 4?) our annual BBC Dimbleby Lecture invited a speaker from the US. He was a renowned scientist whom I'm sure you will know. Cracked the human genome map. The guy held the audience of intelligentsia spellbound, they were shocked at some of the implications he predicted. Now, remember I am talking about an american here.
Following that lecture I did some research to verify some of the things the speaker was claiming. I then reported to John Mauldin some of the most interesting meat. John then obviously did his own research to verify what I was talking about and the next thing I knew he was making certain investments related to the information. We communicate across the pond a little from time to time.
A few months later I needed to download the recording of the lecture. Well wadya know, the BBC had severly edited the real juicy content which had inspired me into feeling that here at last was some hope for the planet we reside. Enormously contraversial stuff !
I shall not go into detail here and risk inviting preconcieved ill informed responses. People can do their own research if interested.
"Have a great week. If we have a week. Once again we have some guy getting a lot of press here in the US with his prediction that the world ends tomorrow (really, why is Fox News among others covering this nut case?). I can say with some certainty that all previous such predictions have been bad bets, and since I am writing this letter late at night, I guess we can say that I am doubtful of this one as well. Now, predicting the end of the euro as we know it? Or that Greece will default? That is an end of the world I can believe in."
