Hi O.F.

As am American I truly feel that the U.S.A. has overspent, overindulged, overtaxed, overconsumed, and frankly, is on the verge of a severe economic decline.

Our Federal printing presses haven't stopped for years, and the dollar has been trashed. Pres. Obama and Congress continue the outrageous spending (it has tripled since he come into office).

I agree with the statement that the nineteenth Century belonged to England, the Twentieth Century belonged to America, and the 21st Century will belong to China.

Intuition tells me that the chickens are coming home to roost, and Americans face devastating losses in Wall Street and Housing markets. Our stockmarket is very dangerous here and in for a sharp decline very shortly.

Just want to say a big Thank You to all Canadians for your stability and restraint in conducting your national affairs, financial and domestic. The U.S. could learn greatly from you.

Last year, I moved all of my modest investments into gold and Canadian gold mining companies.

With NOT, GNH and several others, I'm most optimistic about the future. I sleep like a purring kitten every night. So, again, Thanks great Canada!
