Not so far of reality in Spain just now, Chandra. Interest Rates are more down here (in all Europe really) than ever in the past. You can get mortgages for %2,90 when sixteen years ago, when I began to work, it was in %15. In the other side, bank accounts paid over %12 in these far dates. Now you must pay for your account :-) The money searched the Stocks Market here during last six years, but last two were very bad for the investors. No alternatives in appeareance. What's happening with the money ? Three ways: underground economy; an absolutely ahead (and crazy) buying of all kind of residential homes, garages, and bussines places(that is being the cause of a growing of the prices in last six years in the %60 !); and investments in collectables. I know it because I get all the weeks a couple of economic newspapers and I saw the evolution of its recomendations in investments during last year. I have the impression that something so is happening in other places in Europe but not exactly like here. Oh, and here the computers are not exactly (with exception of the UK perhaps) a general matter of collecting. Thanks and greetings Best Regards Sergio
