Steve, assuming China does NOT take the Desert Storm approach
and tell the world minute by minute about an approaching
invasion, what happens to BABA at the open when we wake up to find
China launched an invasion of Taiwan? Would it even open?
100% loss, I would think...no stop would help.
The rest of the market would be a mess also, but Chinese
ADR's would be complete toast, I would think.
I crossed the line into Iraq in 2003 and was not at all happy
that we had advertised our intentions so much. It made our job much
harder and more dangerous. I doubt China makes the same
mistake.
I spend too much time working and on computer, I really need to
get back to the gym hard. about 3 years ago I got in the best shape
of my life, I looked like that, but I let it slide after I got
injured. Tougher to build muscle like that when you are
51.
thanks for the picture, always like seeing real things like
that. Hope all your buddies make it back as well

Matt, you're only about 6 months older than I am! But hell
no I'm not in the same shape...even though I still train like a
maniac (just doesn't have the same effect). We lost Kraig,
but on a later mission. Everyone else made it back, more or less.
sucks to hear about Kraig, at least everyone else made it
back!
yeah at our age to build the muscle unless you are genetic freak
with natural super high testosterone - you'd have to do TRT
probably to help build the muscle like the old days

Chinese arent ready militarily to invade - will take a few more years of preparation, at least. Best to keep an eye on TSM as an indicator.
This is about a year
