*Read carefully. The recovery is expected to happen in 2H09, by that time almost everything create a new highs (price discounts everything, anyone?). The so called crisis in the US is not real. There is no crisis at all, it's a stupid soap-opera on TV like CNBC, CNN, Fox, even OB, and other controlled media. Next year, ppl will already forget what's happening this year.
