How could anyone take the stock market buy recommendation of a politician... of course they want the markets to rally, the only problem is that they can't talk the markets higher... GZ

Interesting tidbit.. temporarily the market really sored. One thing is... the chart picture of todays bear looks eerily different. Second, it made a lower low..couple of years later; making stock an even better buy by then. Third, "cheap" is for a reason; and not being informed enough equals being optimistic, in Warren Buffets words. Honestly, and historically Stocks were always a good buy. The problem is that history alone is a bad advise.

I dunno, but I think US will remain in the grip of the bear one way or another for some time, while having bear bounces along the way. In my most optimistic scenario I would expect highly inflationary growth to take hold in 2010-11, with the real growth picking up 3-4 years later, after yet another crisis. I tend to agree with Jim Rogers that real growth opportunities should be found elsewhere. Perhaps, the BRIC countries. In my humble view Eastern Europe will continue its rapid growth and integration into EU for some time as well. Perhaps, decades of rapid growth. Damaged by the "models", these countries are buying opportunities right now. Jim Rogers is quite bearish on Russia, thou. I'm not all that bearish at this price. We'll see another commodity boom, which will benefit Russia again. The Russian economy will get transformed and more balanced eventually, and more integrated into EU economy. The political situation in Russia is still not very stable. There is no strong political party that would offer an alternative to the ruling party. Thus, Russia remains effectively a single-party political system. This may change, as Putin wanted to break up the ruling party into two pieces. -g-
