FT.com / Comment / Opinion - Mother of all carry trades faces an inevitable bust

From the page: Investors who are shorting the US dollar to buy on a highly leveraged basis higher-yielding assets and other global assets are not just borrowing at zero interest rates in dollar terms; they are borrowing at very negative interest rates - as low as negative 10 or 20 per cent annualised - as the fall in the US dollar leads to massive capital gains on short dollar positions.

**As with almost every such article, this one too does not give a 'sum of parts' kind of analysis and that means you cannot really take a call on its soundness and coverage. **

An interesting read.
I'm not a fan of Netaji (I believe his success would have doomed India to a prolonged slavery under either the Germans/Japanese or the British depending on the final outcome of the war. And he definitely didn't intend to fail. )
However, you cannot miss the romanticism or the impact of the bold mutiny he organised on a global scale.

OK it's probably written by someone who is a typical, very basic knowledge computer user, and it was interesting to see his view on the OS I've been using for long.
Slightly intriguing though-- as usual, I also have to allow people to use my laptop from time to time and so far no-one seems to have noticed much difference from what they were used to (I think quite a few people didn't even realise they just checked their mail on something that wasn't Windows).

Well worth a read, maybe even if you don't know the urdu literature or detest the idea of leftism.
