Good article.

Good article. I would add that a lot of coal fired plants in the US have been converted to use gas. I doubt that will be reversed.

Hello Wimal, your points are very valid and I would also add that around 60% of the country's GDP is absorbed by government spending. My article is long and I could not cover all. Importantly France is on the mend (California has big problems with homelessness and companies leaving). Enormous investments for the Olympics have yet to pay off and companies are not leaving. I put more into the article linked in above titled Paris - Europe's New Capital. Germany is in an awful mess and Italy relied on its for 60% of its exports. No major western country shows the equivalent of positive happenings in France. One of the architects of that is President Macron. He only has another two years in office but, for now, I see in him and the happenings in France plus its many top companies covering many sectors as A New Leader Of The Western World. A couple of those companies that I am doing nicely with are Schneider Electric (SU on the Paris exchange) and Vallourec (VK on that exchange) Best wishes. James

Hello Kyla, Excellent article. On one point - a devalued dollar will not help exports if the product makers do not make what people want to buy. People do not buy cars for price reasons etc. I live in Switzerland, a country dependent on exports and with perhaps the world's strongest currency and our companies succeed via innovation and quality. Swiss Made is virtually a brand in itself. I wrote more on my views in this article published yesterday - https://talkmarkets.com/content/global-markets/invest-in-france-a-new-leader-of-the-western-world?post=483257. Bye. James

Good article - political "leaders" should read it and act accordingly.
