Delighted to co-author with @burshteind: in this Op-Ed we ask—could Aussie super funds buy Cboe Australia to give ASX real competition?

EI subscribers saw the ASX decline coming a decade before it became headline fodder. Now that’s a latency gap.

My column in @australian.

Among the many misguided public policy proposals in recent Australian history, the Albanese Government’s proposed superannuation tax stands out. It is fundamentally flawed in principle and appallingly designed in practice.

Hi @elonmusk. HL Menken wrote this: "It is the classic fallacy of our time that a moron run through a university and decorated with a Ph.D. will thereby cease to be a moron."

Do you think this applies to Ron?

OPINION: On the current trajectory, the NBN may be ultimately regarded as one of the worst investments in Australia’s history, writes Dimitri Burshtein and Peter Swan. https://t.co/gOriujHsNi

NEWS: $3.8 billion will be spent to upgrade 622,000 homes in Australia with national broadband network Internet, costing ~$6,100 per house.

The retail cost of a @Starlink router is $549, with a monthly service fee similar to an NBN plan, but Starlink internet is up to 4x faster.

@elonmusk Hi Elon. As one of the authors of this column and an Australian taxpayer, it does not make sense.

[Dimitri Burshtein @burshteind]

@CaptOmanko Thanks for your comment. President Trump's administration has not given "exemptions" to any nation and it was almost certain there would not have been exemptions for Australia.

A U.S. sovereign wealth fund would pose significant economic risks to American taxpayers and voters and would give future presidents unprecedented control over the U.S. economy and federal budget, writes @burshteind

My column in @WSJ arguing against a US Sovereign Wealth Fund. Don't make the same mistake as has Australia with the Future Fund.

@DavidSacks Give them spoons not shovels.

Milton Friedman - Replying government officical who told him that the reason workers were using shovels instead of modern tractors and earth movers on a new canal was because it was a jobs program.
