"The Clinton and Bush administrations had it right with regards to our relations with China. We need to draw red lines when necessary and build bridges when possible." said my friend, columnist Tom Friedman, of the New York Times.

Come join me for lunch for the Mad Hedge Fund Trader's Global Strategy Update, which I will be conducting in Chicago on Wednesday, December 27.
A three-course lunch will be followed by an extended question and answer period.
I'll be giving you my up to date view on stocks, bonds, foreign currencies, commodities, precious metals, energy, and real estate. And to keep you in suspense, I'll be throwing a few surprises out there too.
Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week. Tickets are available for $239.
I'll be arriving an hour early and leaving late in case anyone wants to have a one on one discussion, or just sit around and chew the fat about the financial markets.
The lunch will be held at a downtown Chicago venue on Monroe Street that will be emailed with your purchase confirmation.
I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for supporting my research. To purchase tickets for the luncheons, please go to my online store.

Say you owned 10% of Apple (AAPL) and you sold it for $800 in 1976.
What would that stake be worth today?
Try $75 billion.
That is the harsh reality that Ron Wayne, 83, faces every morning when he wakes up, one of the three original founders of the consumer electronics giant.
Ron first met Steve Jobs when he was a sprightly 21-year-old marketing guy at Atari, the inventor of the hugely successful Pong video arcade game. In those days, Steve never took a bath, as he believed they were unhealthy.
Ron dumped his shares when he became convinced that Steve Jobs' reckless spending was going to drive the nascent start up into the ground and he wanted to protect his assets in a future bankruptcy.
Co-founders Jobs and Steve Wozniak each kept their original 45% ownership. Today Jobs' widow owns 0.5% ownership is worth $4 billion, while the Woz shares remains undisclosed.
Ron designed the company's original logo and wrote the manual for the Apple 1 computer, which boasted all of 8,000 bytes of RAM (which is 0.008 megabytes to you non-techies).
Jobs tried on many occasions to get Wayne to return to Apple, to no avail.
Wayne worked at Atari into 1978, and later moved on to Lawrence Livermore Labs.
Today, Ron is living off of a meager monthly Social Security check in a mobile home park in remote Pahrump, Nevada, about as far out in the middle of nowhere as you can get, where he can occasionally be seen playing the penny slots.
He spends his time collecting rare coins and stamps.
Ron has never purchased an Apple product.
When asked how he manages the time to be chairman of Microsoft, run the world's largest charity, and raise three kids, Bill Gates answered, "I don't mow the lawn."

Dear John,
I would like to express my appreciation for all that you put into your daily letter.
My background is in the medical field so when it comes to investing and finances, I need all the help I can get. It's totally amazing that you are a one stop shopping experience.
You incorporate past, present, and future in where to invest.
With your service I have learned the who, what, when, where, and how of successful trading and have done rather well with your input and the text alerts.
Often times though I have gone off on my own in trades and have given much of my profits back.
You warn your subscribers of the pitfalls and the need of strict discipline in knowing when to exit and limit your loses. I am surely learning this the hard way.
You are definitely the voice of experience in all matters of trading and I hold you in high regard as my mentor.
Sincerely,
Christine P
Morristown, NJ
