Glen; My thoughts. I can't recall from history any emerging nation or society which has begun getting a taste of progress, (read strong and growing energy consumption rates) and then allowed a setback such as SEA's financial woes to permanently stifle their efforts to part- icipate in the benefits of modern life. The troubles facing SEAsian economies won't be solved in the blink of an eye or by some simple declaration of policy by their ruling bodies, but the pressure to find and implement a solution will be sizable. From within, where a rising middle class must be very unwilling to lose gains they've acquired of late, to ruling bodies who must realize that defense of the status quo can only be stepping on their own body parts. More pressure toward the same solutions (and aid in their implementation) will come from outside nations and industries who have billions to lose from the collapse of such large and rapidly growing trading partners. How long till this is accomplished? All I've got here is that I'm glad I'm trying to be a buy-and-hold guy, as opposed to a light- footed trader. Petroleum-based fuels will not be going away for awhile, so I think I'll just sit on my DRQ-FLC-GW-MIND beach and watch the Market's waves lap the shore for awhile... Have a GREAT SOLSTICE!! Lee
