    While I agree with the basics in X-Caddis – Fly Fisherman , I think the buoyant sentiment around at the moment is a result of a false set of circumstances. The demand for consumer loans is still poor and there is no improvement in the housing sector. The developed countries are surviving on their politicians ability to just borrow and spend into their countries which is difficult to maintain. Regards, Dorsey Minas.
