>>I would like someone to tell me where this increased demand is going to come from.<<

I have the same question when I read pieces like this...

FOCUS-Japan economy stuck, financial fears persist
biz.yahoo.com

excerpt: "Financial jitters aside, fresh data unveiled on Friday suggested that the (Japanese) real economy is still teetering on the edge of recession."

Joan, regarding the economics woes in the world, for now the brave talk and lip-service of the governments and the central banks is what is all the "action" out there. That was enough for the markets to be assured in the short run. I, Like you, remain not only pessimistic about the demand for products but also these governments' and the central banks' ability to deal with the crises. After all, those are the one that are responsible for the crises in the first place. However, I do think that the next boom will be led by Asia may be in about couple of years. Until then, I doubt if have anything to cheer about. Of course, IMHO!
