thanks for explanation..(I might have started it with a prior post when I posted that a friend told me you can even get prescription drugs off the internet now) I also think if there is a crash it will be unlike 87 which presented an unparalleled buying opportunity for equities.. US companies now have become lean and mean and possibly nasty and yes very competitive and are overvalued by most standards.. global competition has set in so now everyone is fighting for the piece of the pie.. natural resource section has been in a bear market for how many years.. Russia doesn't have any more to dump on market and from what I have read..doesn't have much infrastucture to become a big producer for a while A lot of mines have probably been closed..a lot of miners laid off.. it takes a lot more time to produce metals etc than to print paper off press In order for China to prevent civil unrest it will have to go ahead with its plan for increasing infrastructive on a massive scale The Japanese also have announced public works programs.. More countries have created more consumers who buy products ie cars, homes that will use natural resources.. etc also so many safety nets have been removed now..when people start feeling threatened they might demand more spending in these areas again..politicians want to get reelected...
