Merrill Lynch survey sees little recession risk
marketwatch.com

Excerpts:

A survey of fund managers conducted by Merrill Lynch indicated Tuesday that, although the global economy is expected to slow in 2007, the risk of recession is small.
...
"Against this benign macroeconomic outlook, asset allocators are keen to take overweight positions in equities and underweight positions in bonds," said David Bowers, an independent consultant to Merrill Lynch on the fund-manager survey.

You briefly talked about perhaps buying a property. If you were to hypothetically buy a place where would you invest? Knowing what you know about the weak dollar, would you consider purchasing a place in Europe or any other place outside of US.

When does the trap get sprung?

Early January or when we get more bad news/spread blow ups. Whichever comes first.
