The British Empire
rises again
Let's just say that I could not come up with a better headline. Must be an old age or something...
But if you check out this picture, you will understand what I am alluding to. You will see a very rare alignment of the former British colonies,
five countries where English is still spoken as the official or one of the
official languages. Starting from the US, ending with Australia that was recently outpaced by South Africa and whose position is very much threatened by Russia.
Not so long ago, Russia was number 4 on this list of the top 10 nations visiting this site. This statistics comes from 1/06/10 and includes the traffic for the past 30 days.
The quick and dramatic rise of South Africa is somewhat surprising. Yet, to the best of my knowledge, I still don't have any clients in this country, not to mention the rest of the African continent. That's rather unusual, as South Africa is a good place to trade US emini futures markets, good from the time zone point of view. About as good as Eastern Europe, but much better
climatewise. Plus they have lions and stuff, so if you like playing with big cats, South Africa is a place to be. However, South Africa is not as wealthy a country as the other
top 5 on this list, which may explain why not a single South African is among my clients.
Still, you folks in South Africa better do something about it. Because I am not taking it any longer. Seriously...
Wanna a discount? Just ask for it, but you will need to prove you live in South Africa.
Valid until some lion has me for dinner... Or until I change my mind, so
better hurry up.
Totally breaking news update!
In case you have not heard it from your CCN thing yet, here it is: I now have a client in South Africa, meaning also in Africa. Way to go Fritz! Fritz is, to the best of my knowledge, my first African client. Let's hope that others will follow. But please don't send me lions in exchange for KING. Yes, I do believe that the lion is the king of all animals, but that's a little bit like comparing apples to oranges.
So now I can safely cross off Africa from the list of continents (or as Sarah Palin would say, "countries") hostile to the US interests. We are now left only with that pesky South America. I bet that Chavez guy is behind it. Or perhaps they are just too busy honing their already
mind bogglingly good soccer skills to give a damn about emini trading. Well, I am afraid I may never know it for sure.
