Thanks very much for an interesting Podcast. I found it interesting your take on the American attitude to the stock market and them being proactive. I lived and worked in Louisiana for a year (1996/7) and saw their really positive forward attitude to the stock market. Of course Margaret Thatcher tried to introduce the UK average Joe to the stock market with Privatisation but not that successful. I've still got my BT, Scottish Power and Iberdrola shares.
