Remember the 1997 Asian crisis?
In all three countries, GDP was higher three years later than it had been before the crash.

I really don't think "Bilderberg" will dump Obama. I can't see that he has really done anything truly bad enough or embarrassing enough to be dumped yet.
However, he has annoyed the Jews a bit, otherwise they wouldn't be continuing with their "he isn't a American" nonsense (see Orly Taitz etc) ... so expect the ramping up of nonsensical and nasty drivel to try to knobble him during the elections.
But I don't think he will be toppled by Romney, anyhow. Romney has the personality of a ... well nothing I can think of really. And even though he is a big friend of Israel, with all their resources, they still can't give people a personality infusion ... so I think Obama will go to two terms.
Best wishes

ps Flame ... stuxnet ... flame ... stuxnet. According to Kapersky, they have similar geographical spreads. Hmmm ... wonder who that could be then???? I spy with my little malware virus trojan software application something beginning with ... "I" ...
In this climate cheap stocks today will mean cheaper stocks tomorrow for quite a while yet.
Not really like with like; the LSE used to be about British companies, now it is an international casino. Not to dispute your figures though.
Time to buy shares?
On a sixty year view maybe, though I doubt anyone but a Rothschild and his Peers could live with the intervening volatility without going broke.
In view of the shit storm (economic and probably military too) that looks set for its grandfinale over the next 18 months or so, my guess is that the short-term outlook for stocks is negative - FWIW
Is it the time to jump into the Stock Market in glow of the latest European market conditions? Let's find out in Ed Butowsky's video, "Is It Time To Buy Stocks?"
