Thanks. While we are on the doom and gloom track, let me say what my biggest worry is. The economies of Asia is still pretty weak and Europe is deteriorating. So I think the best we can hope for is stablization at lower levels rather than a recovery. And that is all that I can deduce from the recent "good news" on the economy. BUT, there is a risk that Asia and LatAm will collapse under the pressure or even have civil unrest. There was a news the other week about a man in Peru who Chopped off his testicle in protest to the lousy economy! How likely is another global crisis? I have no idea. It takes more time to research than I have at the moment. But it is something at the back of my mind and it bugs me. good luck, ST
