Some more thoughts.... First a small correction - I did mean TAX-Deductable in the previous post. From my interests here I learned that 4% of the private investors following SI in a certain stock are (as I) comming from outside US. I do pt have 75% of my ptf in US stock - The reason for that is a)Information available(SEC) & b)The Internet. What did I do seeeing the CNN temes on 87. I shifted my international sensitive stocks to some stocks which was IMO US domestic sensitive. I got into DIYH and PWA on oct 23. DIYH up 40% and PWA unchanged. - How did I find thoose? - I found this site: 208.194.155.125 And searched for PE less 10 and price book 1 or less. Gave a lot of co's to dd through bringing the choice down and finally choosing to thoose two. Earning 6.5K$ in 2 hours work and 14 days investment time. I do not find such tools over here. I cannot obtain the same information on companies overhere. Whats the sense of telling this - a)There may be more private investors into investing in US companies than you might think. (Again impact on how much money available) b) Make sure to nurse theese facillities as they will bring more investors to your market. Br Jens T.

RE: <If the Euro is even mildly successful it will put downward pressure on the dollar.> >> Why do you think that ? Sorry for the slow response I was traveling for the last few days. My reasoning is that if the Euro does become a reserve currency then countries doing business with Europe will buy the Euro and sell the dollar so that the reserves ratios match the reserve status of the Euro. I am currently guessing 15-20% based on Europes economic size as a percentage of the worlds GDP (just a little bigger that the US). Also the Europeans would not need to keep as many dollars in reserve if they were also a reserve currency. My guestimate is that about 1 trillion dollars would be sold to buy Euro's world wide. Obviously lots of other factors could change the guestimate considerably.
