<<younger people don't want to work..>>
Pretty much the same in US. Most youngsters want to stock brokers and investment bankers. Though they put a lot of hours in "research" or "trading" or "investing" or "speculation" - it is not productive work, IMHO.

In my daughter's elementary school alert program, they are going to do an "investment" course. They will invest 100k play money in stocks! For 8-9 year olds! While nothing is wrong with this, it tells you about the prevailing sentiment. US of America - a country of stock traders wanna be. Sheesh! I personally don't like the idea but I don't think I can change the curriculum especially since it seems to be popular with the other parents.

Joe, Remember that Russia was up over 100% about a year or more ago. Like all markets, people overbuy and then they oversell. However, I think we are just falling to fair value right now and there is more to come.
