Dubai Quotes of Interest

"U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he and Financial Stability Board Chairman Mario Draghi are confident that Dubai’s debt troubles are “containable.”

"Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed al-Maktoum insisted that 'unprecedented growth,' in Dubai and across the (United Arab Emirates), over the past decade has helped lay the foundation for what is now a broad-based sustainable economy beyond just natural resources."

"Wall Street Jounal: The credit problems of a unit of Dubai's state-owned investment company have given financial markets a scare, but put us down as thinking the event is left-over business from the mid-decade mania more than it is a sign of immediate new economic troubles."

Does anyone remember the infamous 2007 statement by Fed Chairman Bernanke who said the subprime mortgage problems was contained? Oh, I know this time is different. (How many times have I heard that statement.) We are only talking about $3.5 billion, which is nothing more than a pimple on good Sheikh's camel. Nothing to worry about, so let's just use this as a "golden" buying opportunity, as we did in 2007. (LOL)
