I ask my friends in Europe where are your MSFT?s and IBM?s of the world, the Germans would not allow work visas for software engineers, but the US does, that source of importing the ?intellectual capital? of the world at a huge discounted price unfortunately is never reported in an of the economic reports.. Commodity prices and import price stability in my opinion is a minor cause of lower inflationary pressures it is the ?import of the best brains? of the world that adds to these productivity gains and provide relieve from ensuing wage pressures. Just a humble thought as I read this in BW. No other country does that, no other country will ever have access to the most important capital that human development capital.. The myopic nature of protectionism in Europe makes me think I wish they could see the sea change in Us economic fortune. It is based on its all embracing cultural character, sometime I regularly take a ride on Siene with some nice dinner, looking at Paris I always say that htis is the God?s gift to mankind, id God ever wanted to create a heavenly abode Paris would be its model on earth, similarly US economic model and its all embracing attitude to shelter and encourage the bright of the world brings the globe closer to unity and oneness. Fwiw.. Ike in its so called streak of pseudo intellectualism.. <<The growth of the U.S. high-tech industry has been fueled by a steady flow of highly educated immigrants and foreign students. Between 1985 and 1996, foreign students accounted for two-thirds of the growth in science and engineering doctorates at U.S. universities. Most of them planned to stay and work in the country.>>

Ibqal; When I first read this post, I was overwhelmed that you could come up with this analysis off the top of your head, but then I saw the attribution at the end. My question regarding these projections, concerns the population increases. I know that in some areas there is no appreciable gain in population, but the world as a whole is increasing geometrically. Is there built into these analyses that there will be a plague/indifference to the survival needs of this growing sector, or that the productivity factor will incorporate these people, and/or their potential detrimental "influence" concerning strictly economic gains for the investor will be diminished, as inflation will not be affected, since they can't afford to purchase food or energy. I have greatly appreciated lurking on this thread from afar, but this post spurred me to step quietly into the discussion, as I would feel any question regarding technical or fundamental analysis of the markets would be laughable. Thanks. M
