Better own some shares in a Robot company
Higher CAPE ratios in the US may also reflect a stronger psychology of fear about the replacement of jobs by machines. The flip side of that fear, as I argued in the third edition of my book Irrational Exuberance, is a stronger desire to own capital in a free-market country with an association with computers.Robert J Shiller
I am completely on this page, i own some QQQ just because i know that automation might make me redundant so better
what i am also doing is to use as much technology as possible, a human with the help of tech is worth much more that a empty handed human.

MACRON in LA LA Land
DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron called at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos on Wednesday for a “global compact” to harness the negative effects of globalisation, warning against a race to the bottom on taxes and regulation.
I live in a world where i pay 50% personal taxes above 80,000 euros and everything is regulated. no wonder Europe is not growing since 2000.
Macron must be very worried if TRUMPONOMICS (less taxes and less regulation) works.
One thing i know. regulation and taxes don't work. Let's see if TRUMPONOMICS will work

(Bloomberg) --
Jeffrey Gundlach, the billionaire bond manager, says the S&P 500 Index
will end the year with a negative return and is dubious of the long-term value
of bitcoin.
“All recession indicators are flashing no recession, which means it’s
priced in,” Gundlach said Tuesday during his annual “Just Markets” webcast, in
which he gives his outlook for the coming year. “This is why I say S&P 500
down after a pretty decent run early in 2018.”
