Sonny,
You see, apart from the historical apathy, and dislike, people, deep inside, are worried about economical domination! When there is a joint venture between a poor and a rich partner, the poor partner, in a way is happy that has a rich partern that would finance the work, but deep-inside, he is worried that the rich partner would squeeze him out! Now, if this rich partner,happens to be Germany. In the past 2000 years, since they came into contact with the Romans on the Rhine, they have terrified Europe with their might! You in the United States can not understand this but here folks have long memories! Today, they have a first rate industry, great leadership, plenty of money, a solid currecny, and are finally united. They can buy Europe with pocket change! gg I work for them already. I can double my production in the next 4 years and 70% will go to Germany! Am I happy? For now yes! But in a long run, they will dictate to us! Not now, but soon!!
What your read in the papers is not the true reflection of common people feelings. Germans themselves don't like the union either! If they would have put the union on vote tomorrow, over 60% would have voted no!!
I am keeping my Hi-Tech's on ice. Instead I am trading with SGP, MRK, G, Pfe, Cat, and PG! It is very un-healthy to trade in Hi-Tech!! The values is in consumer stocks, both for longs and traders!!
