Juan, I like that. Way overdue.

By the way, remember when you once mentioned something about the return of empire?

Appears Spain and Portugal are going to do very well. I had to wait until just recently to be certain of it. Wasn't sure they didn't overextend themselves in S.A.

I happened to think just recently, for some reason, that the first currencies I recall being forced into devaluing were the escudo and the peseta. (Soros' group was heavily into the escudo.)

Matter of fact, the Portugese put up a fight, saying there was no need for them to devalue. That just because the peseta was going down didn't mean the escudo must follow. Besides, the Spanish economy was then in much poorer condition.

No deal. The global investment/banking community was having none of it. And I remember it plainly, "Either you devalue, or we will devalue it for you." Things have come along well since then.

Share prices are way too steep for me, but I'm going to have to pay more attention to both Spain and Portugal.
