Oh, sorry, I meant to add - from the chart, it looks like US consumers are slowing down, reflected in recent falling consumer sentiment numbers. Also I understand that overseas money assists the economy/govt via bonds etc. looks like something serious happening. Though after listening to Dr Alexander (financialsense.com), expert on the kondradieff cycle, he reckons things should be on the up until about 2010? I'll stick to silver for now. cheers Rod
