A shift...

There's been some shifting in major economic deals.

MOSCOW (AFX) - Gazprom Neft, the oil subsidiary of Russian gas giant
Gazprom, is considering building a refinery in Armenia near the border with
Iran, with a view to processing Iranian oil there, according to a press report
in Russian daily Kommersant. (link)

This in conjunction with China giving a contract recently to America rather than China, plus the value of oil being low, and the area of investment in this particular case is Armenia, certain shifts are occuring which to not lend credence to the pessimists point of view. This is a good thing for you. If there is no financial crash, then you will be able to continue living a decent life. Only this time around debt free, and debt promised not to be back into debt.
