While it is clear that the tech/electronic sector is oversold and the Asian connection is weak, the inevitable crash in this sector which is in flux now, will not necessarily bring all traditional sectors down with it.

I do also fear that worse is ahead.

On a contrary note I would point out that business is evolving over the internet. It is plain that it has to become more secure. Fortunately to diffie-hellman tools to do this are here. Encrypted point to point tools that the feds cannot control can be widely implemented with ease. Trying to nail down every 256 bit or better key exporter using cheap random number lists as long as the message would be like trying to hold water in a seive. They cannot shut the internet nor put key exporters in jail. It is not practical. It is true too that much business that is not buy_this_ at_ my_ website drivel is being driven by the internet, but completed in traditional ways. You could multiply by 10 the dot com dollar figures that the stats boys print as dot-commerce and add it into the bundle. Most classifieds are now on the internet and homes and jobs have the majority of sourcing at internet sites. This is not trivial money.

But traditional industry is still strong, despite cash crunch and high debt load. Bricks and mortar bricks and mortar industries may shore up the economy yet. Look for smokestack lightning.

But in the midst of all this economic uncertainty a new golden age and a return to traditional value driven economic standards must be in the offing. I foresee cash flow projects gaining ground. Gas projects to generate in California have to be attractive. We know of a beautiful gas generation project in India that is looking for investors.

How about small high grade gold mines? We know of a few that may pay. We are dying to get one project off the ground that has 3 times return in less than 9 months.
