Even though Bill Mauldin’s articles ooze of big money and one-percent lifestyles, I always find his articles thought provoking. His latest free look into his paid service for high wealth investors has some interesting thoughts.

He is fairly doom and gloom on the world economy for the rest of the decade, but he does raise the interesting thoughts about the world economic condition. He points out how world markets seem pretty complacent to all the lurking issues, and someday something is likely to snap.
I thought the second part of his article was more thought provoking than the first – where he discusses the next wave of technology transformation. If you don’t want to wade through the whole article, at least skim the second part. The image posted of the 1991 Radio Shack Ad makes a great point as we look forward 20 years.
He has a lot of observations on technology without coming to any solid conclusions. I appreciate that, as its up to the reader to think about what he says and how the future will unfold.
