Which of the world's stock markets will benefit most from China's rapid growth? Big players like Japan and Taiwan, or the smaller basket of Southeast Asian stock markets? I think it's the smaller basket of Asian markets, and that includes Indonesia, which is lately the hottest of the Asian emerging markets because they've come through this [economic crisis] very well and they seem to have their act together in terms of fiscal and monetary policies.

...exactly Christmas come early, but France and Germany did get a nice surprise on Thursday with the news that they have lifted themselves out of recession with Q2 growth of 0.3% each.

...Officials for both carriers say they hope to resume normal operations once the economy rebounds. But analysts say that may be difficult because the industry has yet to solve a basic problem: too many airlines flying too many flights in a country that, despite its economic growth, is relatively poor. India's airlines are now crowding into the budget market, just as they crowded into regular and premium air travel services a few years ago.
