Expedition, Roald Amundsen


I may say that this is the greatest factor: the way in which the expedition is equipped, the way in which every difficulty is foreseen, and precautions taken for meeting or avoiding it. Victory awaits him who has everything in order, luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time, this is called bad luck.

Roald Amundsen (1872-1928)

Economy, Marc Faber

Europe is already in recession. Germany is still growing very, very slightly, but is likely to go into recession soon. The U.S. economy has decelerated and I don't see much growth in the next six to 12 months. ... I think that if you look at the injection of liquidity and the intervention by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury with fiscal measures, it has already impoverished the U.S. economy.

- Marc Faber (1946- ), CNBC, 2012.08.23

유럽은 이미 경기침체에 들어가 있습니다. 독일은 여전히 매우 매우 천천히 성장하고 있지만, 곧 경기침체에 빠져들 겁니다. 미국 경제는 속도를 줄이고 있는데 향후 6개월에서 12개월 이내에는 큰 폭의 성장은 어려워 보입니다. ... 만약 유동성 주입과 재정수단으로 연방은행과 재정부의 간섭이 보인다면, 미국 경제는 이미 빈곤해 지고 있는 것입니다.
