Just got a mail from my son pointing out that the fall of the 3 big motor giants in US may have more than a ripple effect on the financial markets especially in the US. Its like getting an infection while resting in a post-operation stage in a hospital ward. Even before one newly sewn up wound is waiting to heal, the body is attacked by another bacteria. I think the US government is running out of antidotes to save the ailing financial market. What's needed now is for the layman to rethink and reshuffle the cards on the table and ask: where is everything heading? Where is not only the financial markets but jobs, businesses and the economy. I wonder what would the great minds like Einstein or Plato be thinking face with similar circumstances? Another opportunity to invent something new probably, and another opportunity to write a dialogue that generation after generation to come will enjoy and marvel at the legacy they leave behind.
Greenspan and Bernake are indeed leaving a legacy behind, so says my son. Well I kind of agree with his thoughts. But I rather that focus be given to what are the opportunities that may be sprinkled before our eyes, yet we don't see them.
Well at least for one family come hail and high water, they are going on a cruise this Christmas eve. Never mind the recession, never mind the government not cutting GST, never mind all the gloom, they are sailing into the horizon. Good thinking, at least they are taking charge of their lives and not letting the doomsday guru lead them into the tunnel of darkness.
