At this chaotic moment, no one can really tell. For the past few weeks, the world financial institutions are in great turmoil, encapsulated in fear, panic, directionless and perhaps worst of all ignorance. No body exactly knows what has been happening. The economists, regulators and the financers who are always seemingly in the know have been stunned by the absolutely gargantuan magnitude of the crisis. No one is offering any tangible help, let alone a workable solution. In short, capitalism has seen its glorious days for more than one and a half century. It is time to sit down and make serious evaluation. Perhaps a new paradigm or a fresh economic order is needed. If so, the world nations (rich and poor) should orchestrate and act quickly for an amiable solution. (Tan Boon Tee, btt1943@yahoo.com) When will stock markets hit bottom?
