  1. 1. Progress occurs one apology at a time. 2. Apology's the most courageous gesture we make. 3. An apology maybe scorned yet is worth making!
  2. We would like to apologise to all distinguished members for any errors & omissions that have occurred. We do our best yet we must do better!
  3. China schizophrenia? All the real evidence points towards a hard economic landing. Yet, there's enormous denial over China's slow-down. Why?
  4. Good morning from a sunny London! I can see clearly now, the rain's gone. It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shiny day! How & where are you?
  5. Black Swans to note: 1. China's hard landing & power struggle; 2. Eurozone crisis contagion in Spain & Italy; 3. JPM sparks systemic crisis
  6. Impact? Shareholders sue Facebook & Morgan Stanley in class action law suit. FB 'prospectus contained untrue statements of material facts.'
  7. For low probability high impact risks in long tails, Value At Risk (VAR) is useless and lack of transparency compounds vigilance and losses!
  8. JPM's $5+bn losses: Who did what? How much was lost? What should we do now? are latter queries to understanding why the risk wasn't spotted!
  9. How can regulators police this? Once highlighted it took JPM weeks to understand & quantify rising losses despite a bright management team.
  10. How incredibly complex financial risk has become? Size & risk of JPM's trading position was identified to C-suite by a 3rd party: the press!
  11. Rising consciousness: Attention -- when attentive to itself -- instantaneously steps out of the mind into the eternal dimension of the Now!
  12. Our conclusion: There's no elegant way for Greece to exit the Euro. Disorderly exit is likely to cause rampant contagion and be plague-like.
  13. Euro cliffdives. Hits levels not seen since mid-2010. Risk of Greece leaving euro is real says ex-PM. All markets fall as USD rises... Duh!?
  14. We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind's pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves! Buddha RT@dkmatai
  15. Soul of pertinent knowledge lies in meta-knowledge, ie, knowledge about knowledge: the key factor in building a wisdom based global economy!
  16. Fitch downgrades Japan to A+ with negative outlook: ratings cut was made because of 'high & rising public debt ratios.' How does it matter?
  17. Web consequences? Google Chrome just passed Internet Explorer to become the world's most popular web browser. Mozilla Firefox remains at #3.
  18. Next? JPMorgan to suspend $15bn stock buyback to preserve capital. Market capitalisation has fallen by $30bn since bet losses came to light.
  19. What's Holistic Quantum Relativity? HQR is dedicated to uniting Science with Spirituality. Visit holisticquantumrelativity.co.uk
  20. Jealousy's price? Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind! - Buddha
