John > demand for dollar denominated global risk assets (debt instruments) remains unprecedented.

SA is hardly a purchaser of US debt. If anything, the demand is for non-dollar denominated debt, like SA Treasuries.

Not necessarily so. There are "rules" to investment such as earnings growth, dividend yield and underlying tangible assets and I believe, perhaps naively, that one should still look for investments on this basis rather than merely follow the one who shouts the loudest and causes the most panic especially if his exhortations are accompanied by the strongest share-price momentum. FWIW, that's my opinion.

Anyway, there's so much noise in the system that it's almost impossible to hear oneself think.
