Yuki,

Surprised to read of you leaning towards regulations when your own
economy is one of the most stagnant large economies and over regulated
in the world. Your talking about the problems of SIV's, CDO's etc
seems to be the pot calling the kettle black as your banking system
still carries the burden of debt taken on the books from over 20 years
ago. None of us are fans of what is happening in the US as even though
perhaps its not the primary driver of world economic activity anymore
it is still one of the largest consumers. 

I am not trying to make a case of regulation is bad, however, over
regulation is can be just as harmful as inadequate or inept. 

Not sure how the tangent of religious views entered the thread but
that begins to encroach on subject matter like politics that is best
kept off of the list.

Lets stick to the topic of Amibroker and the ways we can profit from
the situations the markets offer.

Thanks,
DM
