We need to add to the mix several developments:

1) Oil is inching up to $30.00-plus a barrel despite much official manipulation to the contrary.

2) China is pledging to dump dollars and convert their cash to support the Euro.

3) Japan has to do something quick as their debt is out of control and now 130% of GNP. They took the advice/coercion of the US govt. and tried to spend their way out of debt and crisis.

4)The Y2k termites are eating away at the world economy's infrastructure. Worse indeed, people are dieing in unexplained industrial and transportation accidents on what seems to be a daily basis.

5) About 50% of the money in the US stock market is borrowed through personal credit lines and credit cards. Higher interest and or a settling markets prices will yield big troubles for many.

6) The EU and old money wants revenge on America and the Fed Reserve.

I have been waiting for this for years and would not miss it for the world.

Lets keep good tabs on all of this!
