Something I've noticed here in the states with the recent reports on world stock markets volatility: Whenever they report on Asian stock markets, Korea or Korea's KOSPI are simply never mentioned. You'll hear reports on Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore primarily. If others are mentioned it tends to be Taipei and Bangkok. The Korean market, . . . you know, that Hub of Asia . . . . "forget about it" Laughing

Not true, it is mentioned all the time on CNBC.

I'm trying to figure out why Charie DD, who has apparently moved back to the states never to return, is still obsessed with refuting Korean government marketting slogans.

Ah, not quite the same style. Dulouz always wrote in these self-important, oracular tones, and tended to dissuss issues related to religion and society.

Korea is still fighting an uphill battle against a world that doesn't give a shit.

They will eventually succeed, but probably not within the next week.
