Chinese - do CH pupils get second best?

Chinese - do CH pupils get second best?

Post by sejintenej »

In an investment script which I receive daily the writer of today's text is described:

Editor's Note: Jim Rogers .......... He lives in New York City with his
wife, Paige Parker, and their 18-month-old daughter, who
is learning Chinese and owns commodities but doesn't own
stocks or bonds.


My questions (already raised with the publishers) are:
a) are either Jim Peters or Paige Parker competent to correct their 18 month old daughter's Chinese grammer? and
b) what medicine do they give the daughter (and where can I get some) which makes her advanced enough to invest in commodities but have enough sense to keep out of stocks and bonds?

If I get a reply I'll keep peeps informed.

Question for the readership:
c) why didn't CH feed that medicine to its pupils
d) why didn't CH teach its pupils about personal finance?


(and in case someone gets a bit forward on question d) in the late '70's I had the questionable honour to lecture grecians on finance - and found that they had no idea about any form of finance, the City or any related subject whatsoever.
Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

I thought that you were going to suggest that CH kids should be taught Chinese...

A drunken Irishman walks into a shop and orders a Chinese take-away.

Shopkeeper says, 'We are a hardware shop !"

Drunk says, "Surely, this is the 'TUO YAW' Chinese restaurant ? - LOOK !"

He turns to the door and reads............
