You are right ofcourse, the Russia reference was aimed at their low birth rates. The aging population is more a Western European problem also probably, as is the low birth rate as well.
If I am correct the US escapes both trends by immigration partially...
And then there are those who say China will face a massive aging issue sooner then later...
No expert on it at all, but an obvious effect of it would seem to me a declining savings rate... And governments taking huge one sided bets in hope of being able to pay for it all...

Did some work over the weekend and decided it makes no logical sense to own stocks like MSFT and WMT, but not AAPL - which trades with similar metrics, but better growth prospects.
I note with some satisfaction that all 3 stocks have performed similarly since the time I bought WMT and MSFT.

Sure to upset GoC, I've allocated X dollars to AAPL in one of my accounts and for now plan to buy 10% of X each month over the next 10 months, the 1st purchase of which has already been executed.
I'm not sure why I'm worried about a significant decline in AAPL because it would surely be met with an unleashing of part of its $100B stash to its owners.

I think Jordan just responded to this...
"Given this difficult environment, we remain firmly committed to defending the minimum exchange rate of CHF 1.20 per euro. This commitment applies at any time, from the moment the market opens in Sydney on Monday to when it closes in New York on Friday. We will not tolerate any trading below the minimum rate in the relevant interbank market. To enforce this policy, we are prepared to buy foreign currency in unlimited quantities if necessary. Moreover, we stand ready to take further measures if the economic outlook and the risk of deflation so require."

Actually, I think he's raised the chance to 52% from 48% previously. Expectations were for 51.5%. Please.
RBA giving everyone a great chance to short the aussie by leaving rates unchanged. Aussie shot to $1.08 on the news. I'll demure, having too much fun being mostly out of the currency markets for a few weeks.

Quotes like that are always such bullshit.
Like Roubini saying there is a 50% chance on a new recession.
Thanks for that oracle.
