The Wrong Stuff. . .
Paul Kedrosky (of Infectious Greed fame) this week interviewed Kathryn Schulz (of The Wrong Stuff) as part of his Infectious Talk series over at the Kauffman Foundation:
In this episode, Paul talks with journalist and author Kathryn Schulz. They discussed Schulz's recently released book, "Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error." They talked about Schulz's premise that we're all wrong, all the time, and how the inability of politicians and business leaders to admit to mistakes can be devastating. On the other hand, the ability to learn from our mistakes can have personal benefits.

George Friedman Interview
John Thomas, The Mad Hedge Fund Trader, interviewed George Friedman of STRATFOR earlier this month. Whilst Thomas' site's name and his interview intro's are a little schmaltzy, he has a fairly impressive background.
The interview touches on Russia, Iran/ the Middle East, oil, Poland, Turkey, China and Japan among other things. All in a geo-political/ investment context. Friedman gives some pretty contrarian views in the second half of the interview - for example, he's long Japan. Seriously.
It's 40 mins long and a must listen. Interview here.

Taken In Red Square This Morning. . .
This photo was taken and emailed to me this morning with the following note. Be glad you're not near this:
It's plus 41 in Moscow (all-time-high), zero visibility due to smoke from forest fires (see photo below). It literally feels like we are all sitting in a smoke-lounge of an airport. Anyone in the right mind (and with some money) is getting out of here – good for Aeroflot?
I have not had a drink in a week...have a hang-over every morning regardless. Short vodka/beer makers, Long Pharmstandard?
Give us some business so we don't feel like sitting here for no reason...
And for those of you that haven't seen it - this vid was shot from a car inside the fire zone several days ago:
