A recent study from Harvard Kennedy School projects Vietnam could lead the world in GDP growth per capita in the next decade.

Talk to me for a second about the connection between what happens in Little Saigon and what happens in Ho Chi Minh City today, right?

Because there are businesses here that do business over there, right?

You've been back there.

Do you feel that connection?

All right.

As I said, I need one for lunch.

Help me order the best one you've ever had.

That's the one I want.

Tell you what, grilled pork banh mi makes for a pretty good lunch on the way home.

Coming up on the program tomorrow, we'll take you to the Vietnam of today.

This final note on the way out today, just one of those context and facts really matter items that come in handy in times like these.

Bloomberg has been tracking the number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz every single day.

Today, four.

Normal times, four.

More than 100.

Also, and not for nothing, the last fully loaded tankers that pass through the Strait on February 28th, that is before the war started, they are going to be reaching their destinations over the next week or so.

So even if the Strait opens tomorrow, there is a crude oil delivery gap staring a lot of places right in the face.

Saw this from a market research firm called Commodity Context, by the way.
