"We Are the World" (by Michael Jackson)Thinking globally in San Francisco, where the Charter of the United Nations was signed 63 years ago. If you walk around the city, you can notice it is indeed a miniature of the World.

The Japantown celebrated its centennial two years ago. But, once Japantowns in the U.S. were present in more than 40 cities, now only three survive. By and large, Japan is also shrinking, if not retreating. The country has failed to join the UN Security Council as a permanent member so far. The perspective of its economy is not as bright as before. The population is gloomily graying.
On the other hand, Chinatown seems prospering. Swalloing all the people and money.
No Breaks for Brakes
The market swings. There are as many ups and downs as San Francisco hills. Since the credit crunch last year, the market hasn't hit the bottom yet. Just like drivers on Lombard St, leaders of the central banks and global companies need carefully handle their steering wheels to go through a crooked street.

However, advection fog will be cleared someday.

Sooner or later, the market will recover. The key words are Change and Hope. YES WE CAN!!
