Thanks. That may prove two of my theories correct:

First that the Latins do not save -like the Japanese do- for someone else to borrow their money and have fun with it. They have fun wuth whatever money they land thier hands on!!!

Second -in a more sober tone- that all the money that people save for the future, like 401K in the US and pension funds are all used in a similar way you do. Is that so?

Elmat's first law of Boom Busts and Recoveries:

"As long as there is people saving money, there will be Boom, Busts and Recoveries."

That because: Savings by those diligent Anglo-Saxons, is lent to the Latins -at ultrageous rates, which no one cares since they are not going to pay anyway- who party with it, pay kick backs, thus causing a Boom which is followed by a Bust. Everything is "digested" a la Brady Bonds, in the late 80s, and everything restars again in a recovery.

We are presenlty in the "digestion" phase now.
