OT Raymond, my wife is Venezuelan, as a result, I've spend a lot of time in that beautiful country. So much so, that I have my Master's in Corruption Studies <g> A'int nobody better at corruption then the folks in "little Venice"......I could tell you some amazing stories.. Anyway.....its only when one spends a little time in the "rest" of the world, that one truly realize how strange, unusual, and weird the U.S./Canada is!......Chaos is absolutely norm most every place else!).......<G> We are the outliers for sure....Makes you wonder what is wrong with us! (I could bore you with my attempts to start a business in Puerto Rico, but I'm sure you've got some of your own too!)

Hi Raymond.....I´ve been reading some of your posts on this thread and must say you make some interesting points about the bear case for the Naz..... I just read your post #10667 and was wondering why you think Brazil is the country of the future ? I´m currently living in Brazil....and love the place but believe we have a long way to go before we are taken seriously in the world economy....That said....this year they are predicting a GDP growth rate of 4% or higher....which is more than can be said for the US.
