So the Irish economy has finally turned to shit. Not long ago it was a market darling economy. Just shows what complacency can do. I'm hearing how Australia is weathering the financial storm quite well. Alas Oz has too many eggs in one basket ( China) Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Oz get hammered soon if China flounders - which it could well do. Amazing how economies can quickly be humbled. Sheesh, kids bringing their own toilet paper.....
