Thor, Gosh, I follow your lead and almost go blind looking at minute little pictures and I have no idea where in the world I am. Obviously, the system needs a little improvement! P.S--Am I imagining, or is area 13 at Nellis AFB blanked out? All who know me know that I am certainly not a foreign agent, and I hope that this data has been thoroughly screened, but if I know the system, I would doubt it. As all know, I will somehow get my view into the picture, and here it is-- This is not the time to follow any Guru or advisor, but a time to make individual decisions-- Certainly time for a flight to quality (in all investments)! There will be some surprises, and perhaps lots of them. This will not be typical nor traditional in any respect. There will be a continuation of the chasing of stocks in emerging markets and it will be a rapid sector market, choppy and deadly for the uninformed! My advice for the "non Gladiator" here would be the "safest harbor that you can find". If that is "U.S. Tresuries, or "Swiss Annuities", then pick your choice". Longer term, I think that the demand side of the consumption picture will take hold, then I would favor the suppliers of the basic things. Those basic industies and suppliers are in great disfavor here, and I am certainly not saying that one should jump in here, just keep an eye out! I will not make a list here, but all can make their own by listing the things that they use and buy in their lives and exclude those which are subject to great promotion. I wish all here to do well and prosper in the future!! I wish also to give a "heads up" here in that I percieve that the future may hold some surprises which may be certainly "shocking" to those who expect for the current trends to continue! Stupid, Jack!!
