If it never sells, then how does that effect global market values?

Roy, I note that you're located in the Canadian market.

In that regard, we both arrive at the question of whether a wage, though paid globally, below that which is legal domestically can be called ethical?

Not because I believe in hyperinflation, but because we're a global economy and America being 5% of the world's population who consumes and controls 25% of the worlds assets is not sustainable- I am also not considering buying CD's or any municipal bonds.

Experts are forecasting another 100 years of cheap fossil fuels, so I'm not expecting much to change there unless technologies get drastically cheaper or there's real progress on the global warming front.

For example, the message about global warming being manmade is very clear, but that doesn't make it true.The source of a quote can be very important.

FYI, I am a Canadian permanent resident.

I write the White House frequently and I am Canadian.

We're always glad to have you Canadians here (like Mat Piche!)

Global markets are slowing and earnings per shares for many companies are starting to stagnate.
