Let’s play a game! I’m going to read out three sentences, and you have to guess what they have in common. Here we go. “This has literally changed my life! I am currently so pissed off about ads I burned down my entire house!🔥” Power pause for dramatic effect👌😉 “This ad has been absolutely spot on I am currently 30% more ready to click the link but will it make the ads stop ? “ Pause again. “This is effectively a macro microphone from two of the best for an up sell” Give up? These are the inner voices of our paid subscribers. I think a banner would be good at the bottom of the comments section as an alternative. Your videos would be better without the sell pollution.

I can’t believe this .. we re are all on a 50 cent per day subscription. So you paid 50 cents to listen to this. And yet there are comments as soon as a guest speaks about his firm, fund, etc. RV is a win win for all involved.

Ignore earlier comment. Misunderstood. But doesn’t change the fact that for 50 cents a day we can bear with a little ad ;)

You know you don't have to listen to the ad if you don't want to, right?

The first dozen times or so it came up, I felt as you did, but now I realize that it is my cue to hit "Pause", which ends the ad, and also keeps the video from rolling over to some other video I have already seen, and which also annoys me. So now, when I hear, "Let's play a game," I reflexively hit the pause button, which then gives me time to consider if I have a comment worth making on what I have just seen. Or at least I can peruse the comments in peace.

Its a little more clever than that. The folks that are being interviewed are....

If you don't want to listen to the ad ... press the mute button and let the video continue while you read these comments....WHALA !

For HEAVEN's SAKE people, just hit the pause or finish buttoned don't listen to the ad. I don't like them either but after the first 3 or 4 pauses I now do it automatically.

listen to Kyle Bass - listen to Steve Bannon - Kyle Bass' interview of famous Chinese entrepreneur Guo Wengui - if Dalio is a fan of China - with all that is China - he is then long-term your enemy and this country's enemy.

Hi Colin, Dalio's is an investment thesis rather than a political judgement. This is about finance and making money. For example, you might dislike Microsoft (I sure do) but I can't argue about its enormous success and riches that it has created for many. This is about finance and making money. I wouldn't let Bass manage a nickel of money, he has failed so often at it. His investment in nickels, literally, being just one of his legendary screw-ups. Having failed at his craft, he's apparently become a tool of the MIC & deep state, while Dalio has become the world's biggest & most successful HF manager and last year reported the highest income of any American. I find the Beige Book report interesting and unsure what to make of it; I note there's some significant discrepancies - but also some similarities - between it and the comprehensive HSBC data. According to Dalio, China will be just fine in the long run, more than just fine, it'll become #1 in practically everything eventually and it's nothing to fret about as it was #1 before for 2000 years tho not imperialistic. Hat tip to Princeton Economics & Martin Armstrong too for concluding same. Make money, not war.

I agree with you David (and Martin Armstrong) that China is likely going to supplant the US as the worlds economic and financial engine. The problem is of course, what will that look like? The second problem is will the US back down or will it use its military might to force a stand off. Thirdly, if China suffers a set back no one will be surprised but once they get really going and all those Chinese decide they want a western style standard of living, then what will happen to natural resources......... Great opportunity for making money, however the planet may have a real issue with the extra demand.

Agreed. Let’s get somebody on who can put some lipstick on the Chinese pig! Assuming the pig isn’t quarantined.

Response of the year! LOL

I am hear to listen to the facts and if the facts don't clearly reflect the impending doom that indeed awaits us sooner or later then I wouldn't be here in the first place. What is it you don't see about the world today....?

Exports are not as big a part of the Aus economy as you may think though

World steel markets had a dramatic turn for the worse since the Aug 1st tariffs announcement. Confidence shattered. Steels prices crashed. This does feel a lot like 2015, except that this time China seems determined to reign in the housing bubble, not least because high household debt is choking consumption. Fiscal and monetary measures, including a 2 trillion RMB tax cuts in March and further cuts to the reserve requirements and lowering LPR in Sept, have failed to stem the slide. If loose credit is not working, what can China deploy in Q4 other than a currency deval to boost exports and dollar earnings? I just don't see it. Engineer an oil collapse to reduce import purchases and thereby maintain a positive balance of trade?

Gulp.

if China slows or collapses, so will the rest of the global economy

George Friedman has written about the geography of China and how critical it is (for China) to be able to have control over it's maritime trade routes. Google it for another perspective vs the taking over the world thesis.

Tony Nash may be talking about this later in the week;)
