Sorry for being late, I've been in the dentist's.

Several answers, one by one.

â€”Sorry, Guest, by here in Spain every citizen, even immigrants (with papers) and their families, have a very good and free health care service. Even old british ladies come in vacation, just to get operated for free on their broken hip, and go back suntanned, for few bucks on Ryan-Air. It's funny, because they are served as european citizens, though out of eurozone.

Purchasing health insurance is a waste here (for serious things); you wait a bit less, but the care is not as good.

Anyone who buys insurance knows that it is to pay a disaster, not to prevent it.

â€” I cited angry bear, because I liked a lot his post's title, as a metaphor. I've being told that rats only leave the ship in two cases, or she is burning or sinking. But rats leave the ship to get out of disaster alive! Just animal instinct to find a 'reasonable' safe place to start new generations of rats.

Of course that the real rats are preparing a new future out of the ship and get any profit from it by the way. If they can carefully plan invading countries and spend ordinary people's taxes for their own benefit, beware the dog, they probably have started new Vulture Companies, Blackwaters, and Halliburtons and the kind.

As an apart, I'll tell you that the subprime thing has been carefully planned by the USA power and its in the core of the financial system ideology.

â€” Linking back to the topic, I have to say: Sorry, Brad, thank you for your patience and free classes, but I'm not able to guess their real reaction.

But for you, Guest, a couple of ideas.

As far as they have lots of oil, they won't have water problems (and peak-oil will be here in short time). They will pay whatever they are asked.
After watching to photographs of Dubai hotels and resorts, and skying resorts in Dubai city,... Their natural investment place would be Macau, just trying to compete with Las vegas Sands corporation. Today they opened their Venetian Casino-Hotel. It will be a difficult competition in magnificence of papier-mÃ¢ché with tons of kitsch aesthetics! The TV commenter said that the tastes of Chinese going to Macau are very similar of those USamericans going to Las Vegas. So, why not?

That could be a great beginning, much more profitable than Treasury bonds.

Best regards,

PS: I've seen in Basque TV how 50 palestinian children have been treated in Tel Aviv airport, after being in adopting families in Bilbao for two months (just to try to feed them in health and in freedom, going to the beach and teach them swimming). Lots of hours in single interrogatory rooms with lots of question. And after that, a Basque TV speaker asked to a 10 years old little girl: What happened in Tel Aviv airport? And the 12 year girl answered: "The occupying forces have made us lots of questions about why we went to... Bilbao, out of our family? And I told him that we have been for first time in a free country, and a rich one". Does this tell you something?</description>

		<description>did anyone say the GCC is the only region with vulnerabilites?

ever heard of health insurance? - do you think that those who purchase it expect it will prevent death or disease?

if the rats are leaving the ship before the sky falls, as you seem to think it will, where are 'they' going and what are 'they' doing in prepartion to be reasonably safe in, and perhaps profit from doomsday

if you can try to link back to the topic, what global reserves may tell us about the ways(the rats in your view?) may be at least attempting to insurance themselves against?

what's your point?</description>

		<description>Last hour news:

Sarkozy said Iran can choose between dialogue with the international community or more U.N. sanctions. "This tactic is the only one that allows us to escape from a catastrophic alternative: an Iranian bomb, or the bombing of Iran," he said.

Wasn't smily Blair to settle troubles in ME?

What a gang!</description>

		<description>Sorry last Guest,

To talk about "reasonably safe" seems to be a bit out off-topic now-a-days (don't you watch to TV?).

First, the Iranian threat is an invention by neo-cons in their thirst for oil business and power. Iran never invaded a country, and the USA invaded some of them in the last century.

The gender-ethnic-rich/poor gaps and a dependency on massive pools of immigrant labour is also a problem for the USA and now is starting to come to Europe. Do you have any Gini index for Iran?

The main threat to Iran is lots of population, and most of them young people (sons and daughter of the Iran-Iraq war dead parents), ready and healthy to go to war. That's the bomb if we don't let them make business as usual.

In between (sorry Brad, I don't want to bitter you the day), according to Hillary, "General David Petraeus told Congress the 'surge' will take as much as 10 years to work, so we must be patient." Thus all eyes are set on 2017.

The top proximity to war/terrorism zones in developed countries (out of Iraq, Darfour...) just happens in the USA  (if you account violent dead / population), though thanks to the export and smuggling of USA guns + a little dark work by the CIA, it's becoming widespread in South-America.

The global 'insurance economy' maybe refers to financial and derivatives, but please don't mix it up with food and energy security, healthcare and pension funds. Don't pull my leg!, please.

The global 'insurance economy' is nonsense unless USA, China and Europe (in that order) take very hard decisions about energy and health. And, one more thing, inequality!

It seems we are very far from any hope.

Anyway, we must give thanks to someone (not God, precisely) because Gonzales is out of Gov.

Cassandra has a nice post about him, and angry bear has another one, "Rats Leaving the Ship".

Anyway, you have still Condy, little Bush and Cheyney, and lots of them more to leave the ship.

Will they leave before the ship sinks?

Best Regards,</description>

		<description>thought consensus is that USD also has an appreciation problem relative to GCC currencies and RMB

re: "reasonably safe and remunerative"

if "reasonably safe" may be the priority in this case. Beyond the preservation and development of trade ties, and apart from the number of times 'protection' is mentioned in reference to GCC/US relations, GCC vulnerabilities have to include water shortages, gender-ethnic-rich/poor gaps and a dependency on massive pools of immigrant labour and professionals and its ongoing capacity to make itself attractive as a destination for workers, tourists and retirees, especially given its proximity to war/terrorism zones all of which add to its dependencies on protection and its somewhat bizarre military relationship with the US (i.e.http://defensenews.com/story.php?F=2944644&#038;C=mideast )

(Its relationship with Britain, of course, also being much deeper than tourism whether this affects or is effected by how many pounds the GCC holds or how those holdings are allocated?)

Looking at LFC hit the NYSE top gainers list today with a healthy 16%+ pop, if we may be marching from the 'new economy' to the global 'insurance economy' - food and energy security, healthcare, pension funds, personal and corporate security, insurance and derivative products of all sorts, lawyers, accountants and credit rating agencies business, ultimately will only be strengthened by 'financial terrorism' and the rise of chicken little economics, analysts and investment products and strategies which, presumably, encourage the purchase of, and willingness to pay more for a broad range or protection products and services.  It seems the more wealth anyone/thing possesses the more it costs to hold it.</description>

		<description>Guest,

In this case, the reserves managers' problem is completely different from that of the US as in our previous discussion.  With no foreseeable prospect of needing the bulk of the reserves, the problem for the oil producers and China becomes one of finding a place to park reserves that is reasonably safe and remunerative.  Liquidity could even be seen as undesirable, since the more remote the prospect of the reserves being used, the less their existence exerts appreciation pressure on the domestic currency.</description>

		<description>one side effect of the gulf's growing interest in asia (and the resulting capital inflows) is that it shifts the accumulation of $ assets from one part of the $ zone to another -- i.e. from the GCC to Asia.   It indirectly has supported very rapid asian reserve growth over the past 4qs.  but in some sense it is also a non-cooperative outcome to the coordination game.  the cooperative outcome is both the gcc and asia add to their $ holdings.</description>

		<description>With both China and much of the gulf pegging to the dollar, if one of them does decide to relax their dollar peg, they may hope to use the other to support the dollar during the process.  This could easily prove unacceptable, in which case one leaving the dollar peg could force the other's hand.</description>
