The last good week of the year to try a case is next week. Everyone, including jurors, are in a holiday mood. Answer ready for trial.
The prior post answer to the quiz (RCA 1929 report) also yielded the nugget that Rumpole is reading Andrew Ross Sorkin's bestseller 1929 on the 1929 crash. The book reads like a mystery thriller. And this is the perfect subject for our Financial Thursday ( (c) Rumpole & REGJB Blog 2025) blog post.
Want to make money? Be a contrarian. Go left when everyone goes right and remember Warren Buffet's great lines about his philosophy: When people are greedy, be fearful. When people are fearful, be greedy.
We are NOT in 1929 with the AI stocks. We are looking at this time with Nvidia, AVGO (Broadcom), Marvel, Taiwan Semi Conductor, and AMD, similar to the time of Microsoft and Apple circa 1995. We are on the cusp of a revolution that will change everything from how you practice law, to how McDonalds gets you your Big Mac, fries, and coke, and everything in between. Heart surgery; creation of movies; travel; house cleaning; investing; restaurant reservations; medical decisions; schooling- you name it- AI will change it.
Without anyone knowing, we have sprinkled our posts these last few months with those created entirely by AI. Chat GBT is given this blog address and then asked to create a post on farming in our voice, and it does such a good job, even we were fooled.
So here is the thing. Find your AI stock. A chip stock, a software stock for AI, a switch stock like Arista Networks, an energy company or a construction company that is constructing the buildings housing the AI centers. Slowly accumulate a nice position and then email us in 2030 thanking us for helping you make your first ten million. Buying Apple or Amazon in 1999 would not have made you tens of millions in 2002, but it would have done so by now, and even earlier- like 2015. So pick your horse and get on and ride.
FYI Here's your AI generated post on farming in our voice:
Ah, farming, dear reader — that ancient profession far more honest than anything occurring on the ninth floor of the Justice Building. While we lawyers till our briefs and sow our motions in the stony soil of judicial temperament, the humble farmer rises with the sun, not to face a docket of squabbling counsel, but to coax life itself from the earth. No discovery disputes, no surprise witnesses, no ASA claiming “Your Honor, the victim wants the max.” Only weather, soil, sweat, and the eternal hope that this year’s crop will fare better than last term’s trial schedule. And between you and me, if judges possessed half the patience of a man waiting for his corn to grow, we’d all get out of hearings in time for a Cafecito.

ChatGPT would have caught your use of "Chat GBT" in your final mistake of 2025.
I’m not available
As 2025 comes to end we can certainly agree that Brittany Wallman is one of the finest journalist in America.
Rump, thoughts on Rocket Lab?
I agree on your stock prognostication.
You have always been correct and have made me millions and millions.
Load up now while the “short” manipulators are trying to turn the tide by putting fear in the retail side of the market.
Don’t fall for the bitcoin craze. It will collapse. It is all falling within the “greater fool theory”. It’s based upon zero fundamentals.
The government and the banking system will create a blockchain coin or currency of their own which will decimate the other bs coins.
ChatGPT and the others are jaw dropping technology. Its applications to the post modern world will be of an extreme that we can’t even envision.
Thank you Rumpole as your blog career comes to an end for your years of educating us and making us wealthy. May God bless you.
Not very familiar with it. I’ll take a look
Merry “Win at all cost” Christmas
Rumpole - I’m truly sick of all these MASS SHOOTINGS.
I’m truly sick of all of this ANTISEMITISM.
I’m truly sick of all this HATRED among society.
I’m truly sick of POLITICAL DIVISION.
I do believe that the racism, homophobia and class warfare will lead to a civil war in America AND Europe.
The “great” European countries are overloaded with African refugees that it has created racial hatred not seen since Nazi Germany.
When one combines the “new” wealthy minority with the great masses of unemployed, poor and soon to be “AI” out of work - there is a rich / poor disparity never before seen.
Believe me, INFLATION and UNEMPLOYMENT in the next three years - combined with POLITICAL appointments as Federal Reserve Governors will keep interest rates low and ultimately cause inflation like never before.
Cars, homes, schools, insurance, airfare and food will prohibit ordinary citizens from being able to afford necessities.
That is when the government will take over manufacturing, distribution and retail businesses and ultimately pay a “universal” wage to the middle class.
The President will become a complete ruler and the legislature will be subject to the President’s orders. The military will be in every city. There will be no free speech or free assembly.
America’s best of times after WWII ARE OVER.
Accumulating as much as you can NOW is essential. The dollar will be worthless. The government (TRUMP family) will develop a block chain currency that replaces the dollar. Our savings will mean nothing unless it is real estate, gold or hard assets.
Just like when the silver certificates and silver dollars were replaced - but worse. We never should have gotten off of the gold standard.
There is a reason that a great majority of the wealthy have been buying up all of the farmland in America. See Bill Gates. See Blackrock. See Treasury Sec. Bessent.
Rumpole - please convince me that I am wrong. Rumpole - please convince me that the world could be innocent, kind and prosperous again. Tell me why hate and political violence will vanish?
I long for my days of innocence growing up with values, virtues, kindness and love for all.
