Hi Jim, I hope I'm not coming off as overly bullish because that's not the case here for the short term. Not that I won't try to take advantage of the tradable rallies, either! Most of the doom and gloom I've been reading doesn't allow for ANY possibility that things won't head straight into the tank. It's a foregone conclusion. It's this type of one-way thinking that I don't subscribe to. I'm very aware of the 'possibilities' (but they include more scenarios than just a BK). Thanks for your views and please keep them coming!!

What about a global recession? What about the fact that foreigners basically have far too much exposure to the dollar, t-bills and our equity markets. If they decide to sell or reduce their exposure there's nothing the Fed can do to stop the flood. Where do you think 'foreigners' will want their money during a global recession? My first reaction is that US securities, treasuries and the US $ is one of the more 'attractive' places to park some money. What are the other options? Euro, pound, thai bhat? Just curious as to where you would rather have your money?
