Hi Northern Boy
Exactly my thoughts!
You´d better hang onto your Hat!
2009 will be a VERY "exiting" year! And countrys from where USA can borrow money are "shrinking" !! Now its after China, almost only Japan who got that kind of currency reserves. So Let´s say... eh.. 2 - 4 months! So "buckle up your seatbelts" and prepare for a year with many surprises!
Best wishes
