We are seeing globalization as an emerged trend in 2000, with labor
prices in India/China/developing world much lower than in
developed countries. Production and industry is moving
there and it is difficult to impossible to
stop that labor arbitrage flow. While it is possible
that the Globe just grows overall, the debt bubble was
just too enormous for uniform economic growth.
So, the standard of living in
developed countries will have to come down, while the standard
of living in developing countries will continue to move up
until some sort of equilibrium is reached. It is still much
lower than in the developed world, so these countries will
continue to see capital inflows and rapid economic growth.

IMHO during bull runs emerging markets will continue to
see relative strength. That said, corrections in these
markets are always extremely vicious, since they do typically
involve currency crashes. Last year was a major buying
opportunity.

SHTF in the US will not be pretty for everyone, as we have
seen last year.

All IMHO.

Well, it COULD be worse...
