I drink Tap Water !

People who appear low-income often
leave Costco with shopping carts laden
with bottled water. I drink tap water,
which is safe throughout the country.

Do people that live more Japanese & Sicilians drink tap water?

i don't know

i will find out and report. To me i agree with Gary Shilling it's ridiculous watching poor people drinking bottled water and spending lot's of money in i-phones & internet.

Strange Encounters in the Weekend

why being great is more & more difficult

People have to study more & more to be on the top 50%, why ? Because just to know what is already known you have to study 30 years. if you want to invent something extra it's better to get to know what we already have

Today in the developed world the average studies per person(just to be normal) is 18 years !

perhaps the best advice as usual is be different!

Even the French made it

CAC at max since 2008!

Even the French Economy that has "too much" state but very good companies did it .....we are in a bull market

Efficiency = do more with less

From Mauldin Economics

Fewer Miles = Fewer Drivers

There’s a classic math exercise called the Traveling Salesman Problem. The goal: find the shortest path through a series of cities before getting back to where you started.

Sounds simple, but it’s maddeningly complex. Even a short itinerary can have millions of possible routes. Finding the fastest one is hard.

Local school officials in Boston recently realized that this problem was costing them big money: to be precise, a whopping $120 million a year to transport students. Looking to save money, the school system offered a $15,000 prize to whoever could figure out the most efficient bus route map.

Two doctoral students at nearby MIT won the contest. The algorithm they designed eliminated 75 bus routes while still delivering all the students. It will save the school system $5 million a year—a whale of a return on $15,000 invested.

Part of that windfall comes from reducing bus driver positions. The new scheme saves a million bus miles per year, and fewer miles means fewer drivers.

Note how this works. Boston doesn’t need fancy new self-driving buses to cut bus driver jobs. The routing algorithm doesn’t just replace jobs; it eliminates them. Having done so in Boston, it can now do the same in other places.

Even the bus drivers who keep their jobs may not be safe for long.

If everybody does the same.....

If everybody does the same thing usually it stops working

one thing that is obvious is that the big get the most money if everybody indexes and that is not a smart allocation of capital.

Indexing is a bit not thinking

I am going to buy a piece of LAND today

 
Today at 7 pm I am going to buy a piece on land in the south of Portugal! I had to take some money out of the stock market. This is not an investment I think it's going to be a expensive distraction. Our 3 year old kid and our dog will love it. 

How a Bull market passes an important mark. 23,000 !

Fire this weekend in Portugal

This is a shop from Leiria, fire with big winds, total 36 death people burned trying to escape or old people that can not move.

Firefighters just can't do anything with this wind

lesson: don't have trees up to your front doors

Merge or die

Social engineering

In my country Government decided to worsen the lives of some people and better other people. 

They decided things can not be what they are! we will change reality!

Heart Exertion Test

Yesterday i did my first Heart exertion test !

I reached only 180 bpm and them i stopped, i could do more but it was enough. 20 minutes.

Conclusion: Hydratation has a role in the function of the Heart? apparently the amount of blood is affected by the level of water in blood. Too little is not good
