It is always amusing how dumb the equity market is. Dumb economists and analysts will tell you that the market is always right but that is a misunderstanding of what makes markets useful.

Australia is doing its bit to ensure that there will be a third world war and that it will be a nuclear war. The claim that the U-boats are merely nuclear propelled, not nuclear armed, is a gross deception. One of the key features of nuclear subs is that they can launch and control rockets capable of carrying nuclear bombs. In a war nobody is going to believe that those rockets will not be used to do what they were built to do. |
