Hi J, hi M... Now that the US crowd filled their SUVs with kids and six packs and drove to the beach...Seems like it's just the few "extra terrestrials" manning the place. Here's some numbers security P/E y2y E Q2 E (in c) T (yes,T!) 80 -92% 0.04 Q 60.4 -13% 0.13 WIND 79.1 -80% 0.02 MU 97 -127%! -0.13! CSCO 46 -87% 0.02 - just copied from some place, good for ballparking. Note btw MU, this is an absolute bitches brew (appologies to Miles Davis). Who th buys this stuff?! Anyhow. These P/E numbers are very much like the numbers in March 2K, right? My portfolio (of leaps!) had a triple digit PE - "next stop is da moon, man". So... I just cant see anything but the March madness, take 2, in these numbers. Longterm?...Oh well, longterm we're all dead, said Keynes. RegZ dj

In the past they could make a real banana republic. No more. JC, who developed is already developed. The one who hasn't, will never will. The window of opportunity for a country to develop was between end of WWII and end of the sixties. After that any golden boy having a go at being a developed country has tanked. Brazil, Egypt, Iran, Phillipines, Nigeria, South Africa, Mexico. All tried but ended up stuck in underdevelopment. Look to Argentina. They were richer than Switzerland or Canada by the beginning of the last century. Today they even managed to become poor!!!

It does look that the world is not taking those countries you mention into consideration, JC. I don't belive anyone is rushing there to "resolve" their problems. The only countries that can make into the richer league are the ones that the EU take them in as they pursue enlargement.
