The World Is Swimmin |
|
| An old saying tells us, “You can never be too thin or too rich.” But the truth is that you can have too much cash. Today, the developing world and Europe are spending less money than they are taking in, and the result is a surplus of savings that the global economy must somehow learn to use effectively.

Global Cash Surplus |
|
| As we’ve forecasted previously in Trends, the prices of higher-end homes, which cost $1 million and up, have softened in recent months. But overall, U.S. housing prices have continued to rise, climbing 14.5 percent in the year ending June 30, 2005. That’s the fastest annual pace in 25 years. |

Rising Domestic Terr |
|
| Americans are under siege by terrorists right now, but the primary source of the problem is not al Qaeda or any other foreign terrorist organization. The threat stems from home-grown activist groups with names like: the Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front, and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty. And it’s not just left-wing radicals who are causing the problems. Domestic terror threats include bombings by right-wing terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh and abortion clinic bomber Eric Rudolph. |
