A few blogs talked about how other countries are doing. No positive reports, all negative.
China is apparently not doing as well as it should be. Brazil is only barely exporting more than it is importing, and India is fighting off a big deficit. This is all from memory, I still need to work on a better way to keep track of key points as I read blogs, which are not as easy to look back on.
In the US construction is doing very well, better than it has in a long time.
In non-investing news:
I was disappointed to hear that the US dropped many tax credits that were green initiatives- like supporting train commuting, wind power, and energy efficient buildings. Also, even though I am currently not a teacher, it was sad to see the teacher supply credit end.
It was interesting to read about the possibility of geoengineering to counteract the green house effect, but if we start it, as a world, we can't stop it again without causing worse problems.
