Does this mean I am O Sole Mio on declining interest rates? :)

Oh, you mean in the *Fundamental* sense.... Well, no need to despair, then... I still think we'll see plenty of deflation (and low rates) in the future. But as far as putting money on the table, that would be a strategic investment -- and I don't do those... maybe with the exception of some oils and energies.

As I said before, prices can't go up when buyers are all stretched out to begin with.... loaded with debt which needs to be paid, and other priorities. And there is very little pressure for wages to increase. The recent trip to Asia convinced me even more that the world is full of willing and inexpensive human talent. There is just about nothing we can do which they couldn't do cheaper - and maybe better. Except for some hands-on stuff, of course.

Every day I see people who bought a house in the recent few years... they are all cash poor and - basically - out of the economic game.
