Ted, why do you meet so many Germans? Do you have family connections here?

Andreas,

They are like locusts....they are everywhere!!

LOL....just kidding. Seriously, when I went to Europe the second time, I went to Germany and it was like going home...and no, I am not of German descent. I left some friends in Paris and was supposed to be gone only a week but stayed for a month...my friends were p*ssed. When I left München, I was homesick...for Germany......go figure! And ever since, I have met Germans everywhere. Thorsten and Pat have become very good friends and we had a great time last weekend.

I have the same opinion. It's very important IMO to drive the unification process ahead, a common currency is only the first step. I believe all countries in Europe will profit if they work together instead of only looking for their very own advantages. At least this is the theory...

Yes, and when Europe gets up to speed, it will provide even better competition for the US, and then the US will become better.

What do you think of my supposition that we may have bottomed or nearly bottomed off the US employment report? The fear of late is that the US is set up for a hard landing....but the employment report refutes all the recent evidence of such a landing almost single handily...so, in a sense, its a contrarian indicator.

I say that because job growth was good while wage increases were modest.....a great combo.
