I view “The Oracle” as infotainment —it is serious news about the world of financial markets and the global economy, but it is also an opportunity to have a good laugh at those who put us into this L-shaped recession.

In this episode, watch out the 5 charts featured by Stacy Herbert. They sparked out interesting discussions. Good job.

As for Max, he is very funny. (He is still bad at reading “le prompteur”, though, but he will improve this skill over the next episodes.)

Watch the show on Blip.tv, this time —that’s the last video, below. It seems that Max couldn’t upload the third YouTube video.
