[Leica] OT: AusLUG goes broke

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (Geoff Hopkinson)]

Not much consolation, Jim ;-) Guess where half of my share portfolio is!!
(and the Aussie market is worse)
Meanwhile those lusting after new Leica stuff must consider the timing of
any purchase ;-) Clearly some very serious price leaps on the way for new
imports.
 


Cheers
Geoff

Geoff,

If you have followed the progress of the US stock market, you must realize
that wealth in the US has dropped about 40% in the last year.  What good is
a bargain when the bank account is shrinking at the same rate?
