The "intolerable" situation in Ireland and Greece could lead to the countries' exit from the eurozone by the end of 2010, Standard Bank says, with rate cuts, exchange-rate depreciation and significant fiscal support all off limits. The Irish finance ministry bristled, saying it's as likely "that Texas will leave the dollar," and Greece's prime minister says there's no chance of defaulting or leaving the eurozone.

Amazing crap being published

Latvia: Population Plunging, Valuation Declining

I am in Riga right now and the situation is not pleasant. Plenty of shops for rent in the prime area of the old town. Beggars following people into McDonalds for something free.
I am staying in a 5 star hotel for 65 euros a night.

Bought EWZ at 49.34

Eventual price target is the 52 week high of 102.21, but of course it will not get there on a straight line.
There is correlation to crude but also to agriculture, agribusiness, and natural resources in general.

59% of the money managers in Barron's Big Money poll are bullish on the market through year end. But it's unclear how much of that bullishness is only in theory. To wit, 58% concede we've yet to see the bottom, and only 26% of them expect to be net buyers over the next six months.

For your information, sir.

1. We are based in Europe so we never watch such "sophisticated" TV channels as CNBC.

2. Our comments are our own views.

3. We are not so naive as to think we can attract clients out of a site like this.

4. We don't need to pump anything, and we certainly have nothing to do with monkeys, even though we think they are cute.

5. We are not asset gatherers. Clients solicit us.

6. Finally, we don't accept clients from the U.S.

Our thanks for your kind words and sweet disposition.

P.S. And by the way, if our investment decisions were based on "hope" we would not be here after 33 years.
