Tajikistan

Perhaps I am the last to know but the weather in Tajikistan is so cold right now that basic infrastructure is failing to operate.

There are food and energy shortages and as this link tells it many people are in danger.

This speaks to the underlying importance to infrastructure modernization and spending that will occur over the next few years (or longer).

The stocks involved will not be immune from ups and downs but the building block for the theme is that the world needs this desperately.

This story should also remind us to be thankful for what we have and what we don't have to deal with.

This "rally" and I use the term loosely is disheartening.
Still it seems more likely than the alternative.

We seem to be in a bear market and I am afraid we will stay in one for some time to come. If the rally does not take off soon I think I will go to cash.

It is kind of funny how this all plays out.
