@imaysin97 your India-bashing rhetoric is preposterous. India is a liberal democracy with pacifist political roots. Indians don't seek to conquer the world - at best they're only concerned with home territorial and border security. India simply seeks to develop itself, and not to conquer others.

Wait - so they sell below cost and investors subsidize this - like a Pyramid Scheme?

heh, gotta love Bannon baiting Hillary to run again - she'd do it too, with even the slightest encouragement

this is like numerology - it's just BS

Since Kyle Bass made a name for himself in exposing the subprime problem, I'd like to see him expose the growing Repo financing problem, which is growing the Fed's balance sheet. Is this Quantitative Easing by other means?

India doesn't really have any track record of power projection or dominance, in many ways it resembles nearby Africa more than the rest of Asia. As a democratic country, it's not likely to pursue rampant militarism at the expense of domestic development.

You sound like some Pakistani activist - worry about your own country first, because it's gone bankrupt and is sinking pretty fast.

You must be thinking of India's stale left-wing. Modi's a reformer, and that's good for the country's future.
12
Not really - the economy was experiencing a slowdown due to the govt cracking down on the black market ('black money') and also on deadbeat borrowers ('non-performing assets') So both of those things were good, but would have inevitably incurred near-term pain. The market would be expected to progress after the initial pain. No pain, no gain.

ETFs most probably stocks are said to be harder for India, since local insiders will win out various big Indian conglomerates are listed on NYSE -- Adani Group, for example, owns a lot of port infrastructure and their holdings are only expected to grow, as they have close ties to Prime Minister Modi

Haha, this is just like watching sports commentary - hilarious

You earned your 50 cents, wumao

@Dumb Done - you're a Beijing puppet, aren't you? Wumao (the 50-cent army)
6
Why did you support Hamas, Mister Prime Minister?

I think it'll be more like Reagan-vs-Mondale - a landslide. Bannon's just trying fire up the troops, to prevent complacency
5
AL - irony much? falsely accusing someone of being fascist, then praising another's military might?

@sumanghosh6489 Certainly, as an Indian, I want to see India rise - but it's not enough to sit back and repose confidence in some "inevitable rise". World doesn't go in perfect cycles, there are plenty of things that happened in the past that may never happen again. Sometimes Indians talk about India's "inevitable rise" to justify a lazy complacency ("chalte hai, chalega")

The market number you quote represents a lateral transition, which will also benefit the marketplace. Notably, the developments in Syria have opened up new opportunities for India,. in the form of the IMEC corridor.

Manned rocket means it carries a manned spacecraft. What's that spacecraft going to look like?

When will Blue reach orbit?

We have all the cards - especially the Trump card

India's not likely to become as powerful as China, although it's possible that China could collapse or contract somewhat, due to demographic decline

Only 1 out of the 3 engines was still firing. All 3 of the engines were supposed to re-light, but only 2 of them did, and then 1 of those quickly failed. That left only 1 engine to land with, and it couldn't slow the ship down fast enough, so it landed hard.

@raghukodagali - no, you're in the dream world - instead of looking at the real world and seeing the useful emerging opportunities. I hear no solutions from you

@FasterDrivers - and so more chances for nuclear conflict & WW3.

The World Is Not Enough

China trying to eat America's lunch. Their dictatorship needs constant foreign expansionism in order to even just survive. The root of this is their flawed internal political system.

@marcmini8137 man, that's like saying Uber has a huge brand. Still didn't keep them from doing huge cash burn. Unless those content-creating studios are somehow exclusively locked into Netflix, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to offer themselves up to whichever distributor hires their services. Consumers would care more about the brand of a particular show than about the brand of the distributor. If you really like Star Trek, then do you even care which network or streaming service it's on, apart from the cost? Netflix original content means they have to invest in creating all-new TV show brands, and there's going to be duds among them. Innovator's dilemma. I can imagine that it would be a great time to be Stephen Spielberg or Stephen King, since you can then get cracking on writing your latest piece of fiction which can be marketed with your name as the brand, to get more viewers. Intense streaming competition will yield more benefits to consumers obviously (lowers costs, pushes better content creation) - and it will yield better gigs for the content creators themselves, since their services will be more in demand.

@Brad Smith haha, there's no way she'd beat Trump, but her re-entering the race would throw a cat among the pigeons on the Democrat side. There needs to be a "Draft Hillary" petition, and then she'll be like "Okay! You twisted my arm!"
3
@Brad Smith she's mainly just ambitious - the evil is ever present, and just needs ambitious people to come along and be tools

China has gotten other countries like Pakistan to take out large multi-billion-dollar loans they have to repay to China at high interest rates. Meanwhile financially precarious Pakistan pleads to IMF for cash which it then gets, and uses that money to pay its debt to China. So China has now created these indirect revenue streams from the IMF. They are gaming a variety of international institutions by running various rackets.

@georgikolev8700 will Rocket Lab make this crew vehicle? Or will someone else do it? To me, it looks like this would be considerably beyond their existing experience base. Since they're sharing the Northrop-Grumman launch site, and since Neutron is very similar to an existing Northrop-Grumman rocket, I'm thinking it will carry an existing Northrop-Grumman crew module, like Cygnus.

Why don't they put up some drywall on the interior walls? And some faux stone veneer panels on the exterior of the house? That would look much classier and more mainstream, rather than looking like a house that squirted out of a toothpaste tube.
3
But why can't they put some drywall on top of these "corduroy" striped walls, so that the interior looks more like a normal home? I'd prefer a faux stone facade on top of the exterior walls of the house. That would look way classier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX5D3pFj1ZI

@jimmy koh - another 50 cents for you, wumao

alright, but they're doing it in an automated way with a robot

Japan is a country where everyone walks around wearing facemasks - you'd think that would be the last place an epidemic could happen.

This just means a lot more nukes pointed at Finland
2
@inso80 - I don't know what that has to do with Finland. If it was Kurile island conflict, then is Finland supposed to care? Will you build shrine to Tojo then? I see that blowing up pipeline is slide to WW3. So you want to join WW3 club then. I also notice any voice of criticism in US is quickly being sent to prison. So this club wants an American gulag too. I don't think your club can become jailer for everyone, to make them all vassal states. You are punching above your weight, and the backlash within your club will be disastrous to you. But the old saying goes, "Fools Rush in Where Wisemen Fear to Tread" (some only learn lessons the hard way)

American's aren't paid to fork over their hard-earned taxpayer money to Israel

Oh, Shep Smith is on NBC now? Didn't realize that.

:face-blue-smiling:Nope, I don't agree with Icahn. I feel he's saying these things because he's already bet his money on further rate hikes. The rate hikes need to stop, because they're only exposing cracks in the banking system. Better for Biden admin to stop writing so many blank cheques -- that's the best way to fight inflation. House of Representatives is now in Republican hands, and they likewise don't want blank-cheque spending, and see that as the best way to stop inflation. So the solution is for Biden admin to move back toward the center, and compromise with the Republicans to stop the spending spree. That's what will save the US financial system.
2
hikes like that would be insanely painful - JPow already ruled out even 75bp hikes - but I agree with you that he may only prolong the pain

@kurtjensen5798 her ego is too big to pass up the chance. She's like some classic movie villain who shows up again for another sequel.
2
@raghukodagali - what exactly did MMS do to give growth? Just blink his eyes? You don't mention any policies, since all you care about is your Party, and the Family running it. Manmohan is dead - now what will you do - drag his corpse to your party press conferences? Wailing for Manmohan won't bring him back to life. Your party is dead. All you have is Pappu now.

@shivasrinivasan80 India needs Supply Side economics to drop the price of goods. Keeping interest rates high for this purpose is absurd in a production-scarce country like India.
2
@shivasrinivasan80 I think India needs to clean up its banking system TARP style. In order to avoid a squeeze on capital supply, the govt should inject liquidity into the market, while also raising money from foreign-denominated bond offerings. In order to avoid moral hazard and risk of debt trap, foreign bond offerings should be tightly regulated through legislation that only allows them to be done in a limited way in connection with the TARP objectives, and with full transparency.
2
@wardog6488 Okay, sounds reasonable - and I bet you could even run some wires along those "corduroy" striped indentations, before troweling/plastering over them. Point is they should try for a more conventional aesthetic, to attract the mainstream buyers.

@4:50 - I think Netflix is causing a lot of hurt feelings in India by putting out politicized fiction that mocks and puts down local culture. Westerners don't mind shows like The Handmaiden's Tale, which is at least from a reputable author like Margaret Atwood. But fly-by-night knockoff artists and political spin-doctors in India are using Netflix to put out their own nakedly plagiarized imitations with titillating fictionalized portrayals of indigenous culture as purely consisting of coercive cults and sexploitation. I think Netflix is headed for litigation trouble in India, where laws against libel and ethnic slander are very strong. If I were a shortseller, I'd simply rent a protest mob in India to light that fire. As they say, "Fools Rush in Where Wise Men Fear to Tread"

Pup Pup Man Netflix did well when it was undercutting Blockbuster Video, etc. But now it's Streaming-vs-Streaming, and it'll be cutthroat competition until the end. Nobody has enough of a moat, so they each have to keep burning cash to create new content - they'll keep doing that until the wheels fall off, just like Uber. Good time to be a content creator, though - plenty of projects to work on. Is there an ETF for TV production companies?
