Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprise of great pitch and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.

Mobius added that he favors shares in Brazil and Russia because the two markets can still benefit from the demand for energy and other raw materials.
``Russia and Brazil are pretty much in the same position,'' Mobius said. ``Both of those areas are swimming in excess liquidity, which will drive consumer prices as well.''

Otto sez: Frankly, Mobius can "add" anything he likes to all that. Otto adds that he's screwed and desperate. The next blood on the street you see may be his.
