Hawk No argument. (I think) - Dubai just proved your point. But suppose - just suppose - China/India/Russia see the handwriting on the wall .... They would need TIME to re-adjust. And China needs xtra time because we are their port of call for their goods .... so they need to 'replace' us with ??. In addition - was China's stimulus a game changer or a black hole - I don't know. If anything - based on Dubai - I would wish that our Treasury would sell a GAD_ZILLION treasuries so as to keep future interest payments as low as possible. IOW - do what Ford did before the auto collapse. (We need the foreign money anyway - so get it while the gettin is good) In closing - your point is dead on. I am watching the FDIC. It will be interesting (perhaps) to see how much the Treasury needs to accomodate their needs in 2010. regards John
