Good call Tomasz..... and it is worth a post to caution traders that 
it seems unlikely the root causes will be acknowledged or fixed... in 
fact I doubt some contributing factors can be eliminated (cultural 
and individual/corporate rights issues etc) ... 5-10 years from now 
we will do it all again, with a new crew on board.... be aware that 
after a sustained bull run markets won't just fall they will undergo 
leveraged deficit implosions.

Some relevant factors:

- anglo countries tendency to run current account deficits (big ones 
in fact)
- incorrect and unimaginative Federal fiscal policies (I am not 
picking on the US because it is not confined to the US)
- modern cultures tendency to run on credit as normal (in the anglo 
countries acceptance of credit is a generational change ... perhaps 
on all modern economies)
- the theory that interest rates and property/stockmarket booms run 
in opposed cycles is incorrect ... leveraged property booms and 
leveraged market cycles feed off each other
- democracy delivers us freedom from civil war but not necessarily 
great leadership
- statistically speaking, brilliant people only comprise a small % of 
our community and they are unlikely to ever hold power in any field 
of endeavour (they are always outweighed by popular opinion).

Traders need to adapt their methods to the dominant financial 
paradigm.



Predictions?

Currently 'new' Asian economies are cash based but they will emulate 
the modern western economies along with growing maturity and 
generational change.

Perhaps Japan is the example in that they learnt the lesson of 
copying western economic excesses in the 90's and have returned to 
their cultural roots of being a thrifty society....but can that 
culturesurvive the new generation IT?


Still nothing that the 'mother of all sales' of kids, boys and girls 
toys won't fix.
