Quote for the Day:

Here in Vietnam the war goes on. Morale is very high in spite of the fact that most men think the war is being run incorrectly. One of the staggering facts is that most men here believe we will not win the war. And yet they stick their necks out every day and carry on with their assigned tasks as if they were fighting for the continental security of the United States. Hard to believe but true.

(From a letter to his brother David from Capt. Rodney R. Chastant, dated 10 September '67.)

I clicked on the first 4 articles on this chart of PLTR, and beware the articles aggregate so the articles change every time the stock is mentioned in the financial press, and came up with what is supposed to be a high growth basket of companies with large exposure to AI. I did the reading so you don't have to. But your due diligence is your responsibility.

PLTR
MSFT
PATH
TWLO

non-AI:
UBER
ADBE

These are those under $60-100 a share excepting ADBE, with PEs not in the high 3 digits. For example, they also recommend AMD Advanced Micro Devices, the chipmaker, but the PE is like 964 or thereabouts.

Interesting quote, obviously written prior to the Tet offensive in 1968 and aftermath.

It took me almost two hours to find the damn book, tucked behind a row of others on a rarely-visited book case. But I knew it was around here somewhere.

My thought on choosing it for the source of the quote was: Many of those who went, including members of my own (extended) family, did so out of a sense of duty and sincere belief that what they were doing was for a good cause, only to end up betrayed and/or disillusioned . . . or dead. None of it had to be that way, but it was made that way by people like Kissinger. Vietnam and the whole of southeast Asia wasn't the only place/time they did it, either. Perhaps my next choice should be from Keynes' 1919 "The Economic Consequences of the Peace."
