Every country in the world at the moment is injecting huge amounts of money to support their own economy. Where does that money come from? They cannot borrow from other countries because they are all broke anyway. Do they take it from their own reserves, do they print money...? Thanks It is more a question than a comment.

If they start withdrawing their investments, the markets may drop another 50 percent or more. Capitalism is driving our middle class into a lower class, and the only winners in our society are the aristocrats.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAS ONLY CHANCE OF SURVIVAL IS A COMPLETE WITHDRAWL FROM THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION. but as usual so a few billionares and their freinds in washington can make more billions, we middleclass working(or used to be) american manufacturers, and all the people employed directly and indirectly by manufacturers will dry up as will whats left of our economy. THE U.S.A. MUST EXIT THE W.T.O. 2009,2010,2011,2012 and then some, our economies and our standard of living will spiral downward into the dirt!!!

I believe the bottom is not here yet. Maybe few months or next 1 to 2 years' time. Property prices will bottom around 3 years' time. It will take at least 10 years or more for the property market to recover. Whoever think that the stock market will recover its 2007 high will be sadly mistaken. The stock can only recover at most 20%. Whoever buys has to keep long time. Is this the way to grow rich. NO is the answer. 2009 there is plenty of liquid, who can get it? Unless it is spent on infrastructure, public works etc where the moneys filter down to the people, then the economy will be saved or stimulated. Can that be done. Once Obama comes Jan 20, the market will start to go down. There will be nothing more to expect. Market is about expectations. Can commodities etc push up inflation? Everybody is poor so I believe 2009 is just average. It is just a technical recovery. all the best. I am keeping cash to buy cheap cheap stock, if there ia any. If no, then I keep cash. 2008 financial storm is over as most think so. I believe the bottom is not here yet. Maybe few months or next 1 to 2 years' time.

The global power mongers are salivating at the chance to replace the US dollar with the "Amero" and if the only thing left to do is hyper-inflate the dollar- guess what comes next.

By 2015 Japan will be a laggard. 2009 will see a change in the domination of global economy by the G7 to a larger group of Nations. 2009 will also see the beginning of the end of the global economic powerhouse, Japan, as Japan becomes less competitive in this global village due to thier ignorance in adopting English which is making them not synch with the whats going on.

Now the gas/diesel is down to "normal" prices (for now), why didnt the price of food come down with it?? Is this what they mean by price gouging? Make no mistake, when gas shoots back up, for whatever reason, food will go up again too! The price of food went up when the price of gas/diesel shot up 2$/gal in a month.

It will equally recover globally. After the storm from up above has passed, it is us, all normal citizens, who fear the daily effects of a global recession. But it is also us, the normal citiezens of the entire World, who will get bored of pessimism and generate a steady recovery which we have never seen before. Remember falks, this is the first GLOBAL recession. Something new. But let's not underestimate the capacity of billions of people to make the machine keep on running. Only my humble opinion, but after having travelled and worked in over 60 countries. The World has come to a hault Glabally. It will equally recover globally.
