It’s truly a small world. DOW had a huge technical bounce last night, our stock market here is expected to follow suit and should rally strongly today. We are keenly monitoring the US presidential campaign and how Americans will extricate themselves from the mess they’re in.

America is still the biggest economy in the world. The oft-repeated cliche’ is that when the US sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold. My own verssion is that when the US farts, the rest of the world suffocates LOL!

Ironically, and I say this without intent to appear superior, the average non-American has a wider view of the world than the average American. Whoever becomes the US president next month will have the power to influence world events.

I trust that the US voters will keep this insight in mind when they vote. It’s truly a small world. Will keep in touch.

Besides the leadership vacuum, McCain fails Hemingway’s code of
behavior…
“He was an old man who politicked erratically in his Straightalk Express
throughout the bowels of America, and he has gone ninety days now without
making any sense.”
