Are we now in a similar situation?  Not 
yet.  China is slowing, but is still growing at a 7% rate.  Japan will 
probably come out of their recession in the next two quarters.  The EU 
is hovering at 0% growth, but they are not crashing through the floor.  
The biggest problem is Russia, as the combination of cheap oil and 
economic sanctions will lead to a recession next year.  But they're a 
special situation.
