More news of the weird:
From a recent Financial Times blurb titled Weapon of Choice:
On Monday, Moskovsky Komsomolets, a Moscow newspaper, published a statistic on its front page: sales of aluminum baseball bats had risen sharply - but sales of baseballs had not. Four bats are bought for every ball in Moscow, a city not known for its love of America's pastime. Instead, the aluminum bat is a rapidly proliferating weapon in a new war - the armament of choice for football hooligans and skinhead gangs.
Words of Wisdom:
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Keep away from the people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you can become great.” - Mark Twain.
“The price pattern reminds you that every movement of importance is but a repetition of similar price movements, that just as soon as you can familiarize yourself with the actions of the past, you will be able to anticipate and act correctly and profitably upon forthcoming movements.” - Jesse Livermore
"Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity"
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
