  • TSMC getting exemption from strict US tech export laws

    It’s so unfortunate. China had such tremendous potential. Deng had set up a system that might have evolved into something special — maybe better than anything in the west. Imagine if instead of using bullying and intimidation with Taiwan, China had treated Taiwan with respect. Imagine if China had persuaded Taiwan to a new union by building a better system that Taiwanese actually wanted? China is like the oaf who can’t woo the girl and so threatens her. 

    Such staggering waste. But given that CCP has chosen this path, the West has no choice but to respond like this (and more). China will slide backwards, then crash hard. 
    Absolutely correct.
    Totalitarian regimes are inherently weak due to corruption and absolute control of the individual.
    Unfortunately they often exact a sobering toll on the rest of the world by causing unnecessary military conflict.

  • Apple said to be scaling back production of entire iPhone 14 range

    Reports about cutting iPhone production come out every year. 

    Why? Because it works. 

    The stock drops steeply, those “leaking” the “news” make money on their short positions, and then the news disappears into the mist, forgotten. 

    Sometimes there are even reports from other analysts stating that no such data exists in their analyses of the supply chain. 

    Once Apple itself cautioned against trying to interpret supply chain “intelligence”.

    But every year it’s the same old thing and people trade stock based on it. 

    Liars manipulate the market because it’s profitable. 

    And they are never prosecuted. 

    But they should be. The price manipulators cost those saving for retirement a great deal.
