Naz taking off today
It's hard to fight with 15-20+ earnings growth
The multi-nationals will report hyper-growth as long as overseas countries experience the same.

At some point, which I've failed to find, the markets will reflect the peak of the cycle.
US consumers- 70% of GDP- are tapped. Retailers, most of whom sell goods made in these countries, are hurting. As their orders decline, the manufacturers sales will decline. As their sales decline, overseas consumers will spend less. The cycle is taking longer to play out and affecting US markets less immediately due to globalization. But it will all come to roost, with a much greater impact for the same reason.

All the supporting businesses will be effected as well. It's hard to argue against a severe global recession. But with the unusual, and probably the first and last, circumstances of growth spread so wide in all aspects, the timing has obviously become much harder to pinpoint.

FXI has decimated my options accounts. Never expected this 30 steps up and 1/4 step back pattern to carry on so long. Underestimated the impact of those new rules that took effect in August.
