The Collapse of 2001 -original title of this thread- has hit the world economy and slowly it is downing in everyone that the economy has been "Japanized". Japanizing means slowly return to the insignifiocance that it came from. S slow that future generations even know what they've lost. Like what happened with Sweden in the last 40 years. from third living standard in the world, to twentieth. The only game in town is the Chinese hard at work importing industries to deflate them. One billion plus of Indians. 200 plus millons of Indonesians, 120 million plus Pakistanis, 180 plus Brazilians, plus the whole continet of Afca are stagnant. We are reverting all those developments achieved in the last 200 years or so.

Jay, Why are you selling your AUD for CAD? Do you have a reason to prefer longer term the CAD over AUD? I have some Australian government debt and some Canadian government debt as well as New Zealand government debt. My thoughts are to spread capital in economies that are commodity based. I am suspicious of the US economy rebounding and not convinced the world GDP is on the mend. I do not see evidence that the excesses of the 1990's in the US have been eliminated and am watching capital chase capital markets and not be put to work in productive assets.
