Had to get a special ruling to allow them to do that, but of course that was no problem.

Ten years of listening to Max, and this really feels like the culmination.

So the news about Bitcoin being a failure was a lie. It outperformed every currency last year.

5. What major British bank was advising all it's investors to get out of the stock market, like NOW?

Just about a month ago. Received very little play over here, aside from a few snide remarks I heard about how this bank had to be bailed out last year. I thought that was a major WTF moment: a large bank panicking about the future of the stock market? Not a great sign...

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has advised clients to brace for a "cataclysmic year" and a global deflationary crisis, warning that the major stock markets could fall by a fifth and oil may reach $US16 a barrel.

"Sell everything except high quality bonds. This is about return of capital, not return on capital. In a crowded hall, exit doors are small," it said in a client note.

Andrew Roberts, the bank's credit chief, said both global trade and loans are contracting, a nasty cocktail for corporate balance sheets and equity earnings, and uncharted waters given that debt ratios have reached record highs.
