“The developed countries can only hope to maintain their standard of living, their standard of education, their leadership position, if they put to work productively the only resource in which they have a distinct advantage: their ability to keep young people in school for long years and to qualify them for knowledge work...For the standard of living of the developed world can also be maintained only if it succeeds in mobilizing the labor resources of the developing world...” Peter Drucker in his book (Drucker, P., Managing in Turbulent Times, New York, Harper & Row, 1980) Of course all that was taught in collage for our graduated here. adn they have read th book too. "I would advise them to invest in China, India and Brazil, because they are all good stories." Nothing new as quoted in my book to end all the other books: Spread the capital wide and open..

Look who's coming to dinner! Wait for it, wait for it... :0) Palin to speak at Hong Kong investment forum adn.com Published: August 31st, 2009 06:13 AM HONG KONG - Former U.S. vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, once questioned about her lack of foreign policy experience, will make her first trip to Asia in September. The former Alaska governor will visit Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers, the host announced Monday. Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets. "Our keynote speakers are notable luminaries who often address topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics," company spokeswoman Simone Wheeler said in a statement. "We just felt it would be a fabulous opportunity for CLSA clients to hear from Mrs. Palin," Wheeler said, adding that CLSA approached Palin with the offer. She said the conference aimed to present investors "a diversity of views that potentially influence decision-makers who help shape the markets." The Sept. 23 address will mark Palin's first commercial speaking engagement, according to CLSA. Her speaking fees were not disclosed. It will be closed to the media, and the topic has not yet been confirmed. Palin was criticized during last year's presidential election for her lack of experience in international affairs. She received her first passport in 2007 to visit Alaska National Guard members serving in Kuwait and Germany.
