I am sorry to see people get upset so easily on this thread. We are here to learn from each other and hopefully make profitable investment decisions. At least that's what I hope to accomplish. We need every one's input and expertise. Jyoti, Good opinion. No one can censor anyone else, but if someone with the title of a professor attached posts a provocative opinions people are bound to get provoked. I offer the following opinions of Prof Sankar as examples: From Message 3352927 come the Neo colinialism theory: Actually, USA and other Western powers taught jingoism to the rest of the world. After having acquired the nuclear power and wealth (mostly through occupation of foreign lands), these powers want the rest of world to kow tow them and remain perpetually emaciated and dependent on them; now through neo-colonialism. From Message 3324140 comes the Chinese communist international conspiracy to subvert and takeover Indonesia. Most wealthy people in the Indonesian Finance Community (especially the ethnic Chinese) want Suharto to leave and are speculating on Rp to topple him, IMO. I believe they will not succeed because the US, Japan and Singapore have realized the problem and want to help Indonesia with Suharto in command; not because they like Suharto, but because he is better than Communists taking over Indonesia. I would not be surprised if China is behind the game of subversion. Whatever China could not achieve 30 years ago has suddenly appeared easier to accomplish. .... This is my own political analysis and is not intended to offend anyone, especially my Chinese friends. OK, I see some disclaimers buried in a lot of text, but these are procative opinions and the natural course is provocative responses. Though I do not think they need censoring, I do think one should have the think skin to withstand the flames. I personally read and enjoy the finance/economics opinions of Prof. Sankar and wish he spent less time fraternizing (or surfing the Web sites) of Lyndon Larouche and coming up with conspiratorial thought-of-the-day ;-) <ggg>
