Post by: Kngkyle on April 14, 2007, 18:00
Well, Chicago was just announced the US city that will be bidding. Other cities that are bidding: Madrid, Rome, Tokyo, Doha, and Rio De Janeiro among others. Chicago beat Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and Philadelphia to be the US backed city.

I wouldn't get too excited if I were you.  Putting my other hat on as an analyst of long term cycles, trends, harmonics, economics and humanity, there is every probability that between 2012 and 2018 the world will be engaged in either recession prompted by food price inflation, depression caused by a rapid drop in asset values (including property) and/or possibly a six year war.

The possibility of interest rates jumping to 12% or even 16% post March/July 2012 is very high.

There isn't likely to be much international air travel happening in 2016.  Tickets for the Olympics will be cheap.

Sorry to be such a doom and gloom merchant, but there you are; better to be realistic.

Happy days.....
