Will be interesting to see how hard we bounce off of any dips. There are plenty of people out there(I've got 6-7 alone hounding me to let them know when it has turned) who will be adamant about not missing getting rich in round two. dave

re Euroland. I'm sure they are behind in that stuff too You may find that Europe is on the "Cutting Edge" when it comes to managing money. Remember, there is a lot of "Old Money" and since many countries have come and gone over the years, banking is much different. Many stocks are in "bearer" form, in part due to tax considerations. The FT Managed Funds section has about 9000 funds (I did not count them, just used number per column inch times total column inches). The few that are from American Fund families are "World Funds". Many funds are listed as Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Isle of Man, Jersey, plus many Insurance Companies. Those areas seem to be on the "cutting edge" of tax laws. I have followed the advise of Jim Rogers to a large extent, he was a partner with George Soros about 30 years ago. He and a girl friend went around the world on Motorcycles and now is going around the world again. See millenniumadventure.com . He looks over the whole world as a place to invest. You will find quite a bit of info about many areas of the world there, including China and Korea. He has been part of Barron's Roundtable and rather than 10 or so favorite stocks, had about 400 last time he was there. Many were not available unless you open an account in that area of the world. To buy stocks in most places, you have to open an account with a local bank. You will find banks in other countries to be slightly different than here. I looked into opening foreign accounts at one time but, in many cases, the minimums are somewhat high. As I recall, to open an account at juliusbaer.com the minimum was about $500k or $1M. But, you get a lot more than just a CD from them. Snip We use an international network of experts both inside and outside the Julius Baer Group to derive optimum solutions.
