    he talks about 'underpricing risk.' i think it should be 'mispricing risk' and that's based on teh packaging of CDO and CDS debt tranches. >

    that's true...but he's mostly talking about issues outside the financial markets...except for issues of capital flight, he's looking at trade imbalances.

      One interesting thing about trade imbalances is how they are sometimes measured.

      Often, 'services' are discounted because they dont meet the criteria of durable goods, products or tangible assets that can be easily measured.

      We are not deficient in the services we provide abroad.
