Bill Gross: Hairy Lips Sink Ships (March 2009)
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
Bill Gross has just released his Investment Outlook for March 2009, titled “Hairy Lips Sink Ships,” and it is a must read, and answers several burning questions as only Mr. Bond can, the Bond King himself. Here are some of the questions:
- Question: Mr. Gross, is this a recession or a depression?
- Question: How did this happen so fast?
- Question: How bad could this get?
- Question: What can be done?
- Question: Are there no negative consequences from “shock and awe?” Will these policies destroy capitalism while trying to save it?
- Question: Why do we assume that the U.S. can unilaterally do whatever it wants?
- Question: What do you think about nationalizing the banks?
- Question: Enough already about this still confusing crisis – how should I invest my own money?

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
Get ready to learn about the developing world from a source of fascinating perspective. “You’ve never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called “developing world.”
Even the most worldly and well-traveled among us will have their perspectives shifted by Hans Rosling. A professor of global health at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, his current work focuses on dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world, which (he points out) is no longer worlds away from the west. In fact, most of the third world is on the same trajectory toward health and prosperity, and many countries are moving twice as fast as the west did.
