June 29, 2025 | The Four Faces of War
QUESTION: You are pessimistic about a resolution in the Iran-Israel conflict. Why is this different from Ukraine or even Vietnam?

June 29, 2025 | The Huge AI Story May Not Be Quite Huge Enough
The S&Ps and Nasdaq hit record highs last week, a surreal milestone that only the Wall Street toadies at Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal who fabricate the news could take seriously.
