Be advised..long term planners....I haf it on good authority that the recession in the US is bottoming out. It will be a flat bottom but a bottom none the less.
In England, the depression has not yet arrived. The little people there hope that they can do the financial clinging to the Americans - again.....
In South Africa....well...if Zuma does not fire Manuel - and he will not-then perhaps not too bad. Watch for Anglo to open again the Debswana diamond mines in Botswana...closed now for a little while. But be warned..Taliban have threatened big trouble in DC - gotta be a nuclear threat after twin towers. They always said it would be after that-not wanting to downstage themselves. Let us most fervently hope that the Homeland Security thwart any such attempts. Soo- get ready for a sexy ride but take precautions possibly?
