AC Flyer, your reasoning sounds fine, but can we be sure that there exists this "judicious monetary policy"? Personally I think interest rates should find their market level and not be manipulated by government officials, including geniuses(???) like Greenspan. The scenario of governmental manipulation often tends to be short term gain, long term pain. Think about governmental interference in the greatest economic crisis of the last century. That was 1929. First the US and then the other trading countries responded to the situation by jacking up tariffs strenuously, in order to "save jobs" which were not saved because international trade was paralyzed. The tariffs had made the situation much much worse. Only a few or maybe just one here say that "China's Communist capitalism is superior to the US democratic capitalism". It's Chinese wages that are, from the point of view of the capitalist, much more satisfactory. That comes with the situation of overpopulation. Meanwhile, I certainly hope that the electric power situation of your supplier will improve soon. P.S. A lot of us say that US foreign policy is stupid --- even Kerry doesn't face the iisues straight on. And therefore we anticipate a Bust and won't invest in the US. But that's not the same as a paean of praise for the Chinese leadership.

AC - You seem so unreasonably overconfident about Bush second term.
