Video-o-rama: Ring out the old, ring in the new
Although this is a holiday-shortened trading week, there has certainly not been a lack of video clips hitting the airwaves. A number of these review the historically brutal year that has just drawn to a close. Others attempt to cast light on the outlook for 2009, debating whether markets will stabilize, or at least be less ugly than 2008. Also featuring prominently is a fair bit of footage on the rapidly deteriorating situation in China. Let’s see what the Year of the Ox will bring – the Ox after all is “a sign of prosperity through fortitude and hard work”, according to Wikipedia. A few of the more interesting clips that have attracted my attention are shared below. All the material is worth watching, but do make a special effort to watch the Jim Rogers video (even though it runs for almost 20 minutes). On a lighter note, John Paczkowski’s “2008 – the year in wisecracks” is also not to be missed. CNBC: 2008 in review Source: CNBC, December 30, 2008.
