Hi Arran,

Just took a brief look at Wuhan on Google Earth...

Re FXF, yes, I have a bit of that... whats a little troubling is that the bank that holds the fund, to my knowledge is JP Morgan, the derivative king...

So its easily tradable, and cheap to trade... but how safe?

Probably not as safe as swiss t bills in your safe deposit box.

Just some fun thoughts to consider... (why should I have all the fun?).

Best wishes...

RJA

In the 80s I read lot of books written by futurists: Neisbitt, Toffler, Frank Feather and many others. Man, there were ones saying Europe would achieve a super boom!
I was there writing 1992 is a wayo to keep Europe going.
(I can paste it here)

I thought they were all wrong in many instances. They always looked as the continuation and perpetuation of what was there.

I gave a hard look to man and nature and there has never been a continuation or perpetuation. Only change is constant. There were branching along the way and extinctions and reborn and modifications.

Thus I was right and all of them were wrong.
