Very interesting.

When the second in charge at Berkshire sounds the alarm, it might pay to listen.

Paul Farrel provides some analysis of Charlie's Article.

After reading these two articles I find myself wondering why I put any money in the financial markets? As it appears to just be feeding the beast whose brain is Goldman Sach's.

  1. Also, consider the implications, if we can't just keep investing our way to wealth we might have to start actually making something as a country again! How does a country generate income if all it does is spend money? At some point the credit cards max out. When that happens we will have to work again.
