Hi, Bill regarding Bangladesh they are 125 million people growing around 2% a year with a GDP of $1250 per capita, or about 4% of the US per capita GDP. Now I am not sure how much buying power this represent for goods manufactured in the US. As to your general comment I still do not get it and may be because you refer to a very previous post whose content I forgot. My theory on SE Asia and Global economy is this - due to the globalisation of economic powers the standard of living must arrive to some sort of equilibrium. Now how do you reconcile around 3 billion people with a $1200 to $3000 GDP per capita with $32,000?? IMHO very simple the $32,000 will lower it's relative standard of living and the $3000 will have it higher. Result - prosperity there = recession on those shores. this adjustment will take several years not 6 months. BWDIK HAim
