I urge you all to sign up for the Applied Derivatives newsletter. It's free and it looks like they are closing the list before they have to start charging for the service. It is always incisive. Always interesting. Check out the recent letter at adtrading.com The issue contains a very long interview with Marc Faber, a Swiss national (does anyone ever stop being Swiss Thomas?) An excerpt: "....I would have thought that there was more likelihood of Europe at long last feeling the need to go for deregulation. Nevertheless, if Faber is correct, then the Euro currency project must surely be doomed, as it can hardly compete on a world stage with the European continent dragging itself through further reaction, while technology spurs greater competition. At least we were agreed on one thing: "I can't be too optimistic about Europe," he noted solemnly. "After all, in the whole EU, there are only a few cities doing well." Hmmm, this reminds me of the Mitsubishi Research Institute's Noriko Hama's vaguely apocalyptic belief that the EU is on the verge of destruction and by 2010 Europe will be a collection of between 100 and 200 loosely affiliated city states". Very interesting post Terry. Best to you all, Clark
