Perhaps while we are supervising your weed...Hi Jim<br /><br />Perhaps while we are supervising your weed pulling, we could have a brief discussion about derivatives, to whit:<br /><br />I no longer think derivatives should just be banned. I now think they should be treated as gambling, and then banned.<br /><br />That is, CFDs, CDOs, SCDOs, CPDOs, CDS and all the various other acronyms that might masquerade as financial instruments should be brought under the Interactive Gaming Act, 2001, which makes it an offence to offer “real money” online gambling to residents of Australia.<br /><br />- and - <br /><br />The idea that derivatives are gambling and should be treated as such came to me this week<br /><br />HOWEVER - I must confess the above are not my words. They come from here:<br /><br />http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/derivatives-Lehman-CFDs-CDOs-Gaming-Act-investment-pd20120926-YGRTE?OpenDocument&src=mp<br /><br />My initial simple reaction is that Mr Kohler is remarkably slow.<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-41727962972470573522012-09-25T06:13:00.364+10:002012-09-25T06:13:00.364+10:00Thanks, Ramana.Thanks, Ramana.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-89648898329379714152012-09-25T00:59:46.222+10:002012-09-25T00:59:46.222+10:00Wow!

It is probably a final sign of adulthood when tastebuds finally acknowledge the truth of the foregoing statement, so give them a bit more time.<br /><br />Anyway, you can be rightly proud of progress thus far.<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
