Sharapova, the Up-and-Coming Veteran

Maria Sharapova celebrates after her quarterfinal victory over Dominika Cibulkova on Tuesday.

“To tell you the truth, I don’t know what happened in the match. I don’t know how I won. I don’t know what the tactics were. I was just out there. I was just playing. I could really care less what was going on outside me. I was in my own little world—I don’t know what world that was, really.”

Finance·Money, Marc Faber


I think that interest rates in time will be much higher because the fiscal deficit will stay very elevated or even increase and that will impair the ability of the government to pay the interest. If the ability to pay the interest is impaired, there's only one way out and that is for them to print money, and so eventually you will get higher interest rates.
