Hi Tek; The basic idea had mirit, but I guess the honesty of the
Korean officals hasn't changed much. They look as crooked as ever.
I had hope the new election would have improved things. My guess
is the IMF bailout money will just funnel into the same hands
that ripped the country off to start with.
BTW do you look at quote.yahoo.com
it's a early morning check for me when ever I'm in,
and handy to keep up with if you play ADRs or WEBs
Jim

Collecting the gold in Korea is perhaps comparable in some ways to what England did early in World War II when all the housewives were asked to contribute their aluminum cookware to make airplanes. It's symbolic of national resolve.

In Italy as the war broke out people were asked to contribute metal of all kinds. The philosopher George Santayana was solicited and contributed what he thought was a gold medal he had been awarded. Turned out it was brass.
