I'm Only Rich Because I Know When

The Only Thing That Could Hurt Me Is If My Success Encouraged Me To Return To My Childhood Fantasies Of Omnipotence - But That Is Not Likely To Happen As Long As I Remain Engaged In The Financial Markets, Because They Constantly Remind Me Of My Limitations.

I Put Forward A Pretty General Theory That Financial Markets Are Intrinsically Unstable. That We Really Have A False Picture When We Think About Markets Tending Towards Equilibrium.

There Is Always A Divergence Between Our Perception And What Actually Exists.

By Creating The European Central Bank, The Member States Exposed Their Own Government Bonds To The Risk Of Default. Developed Countries That Issue Bonds In Their Own Currency Never Default, Because They Can Always Print Money. Their Currency May Depreciate, But The Risk Of Default Is Absent.

There Is No Question That A Breakup Of The Euro Would Be Very Damaging, Very Costly, Both Financially And Politically. And The Biggest Loss Would Be Incurred By Germany. Germans Have To Bear In Mind That, Effectively, They Have Suffered Practically No Losses So Far. Transfers Have All Been In The Form Of Loans, And It Is Only When The Loans Are Not Repaid That Real Losses Will Be Incurred.
