Tehran Stock
By Wink
In a recent Wall Street Journal I saw a photo of the Tehran Stock Exchange.
Let me say that slowly……. Tehran…..Stock…..Exchange.
If you are like me, the idea of a ‘Tehran Stock Exchange’ might strike you as a strange concept.
I assumed Iran had a mostly sand-based economy and, if there was a ‘stock exchange’ it would involve …. you know… stock….
Am I THAT far out of touch, that I didn’t know there was a Tehran Stock Exchange?
The world keeps spinning. I need to do a better job of keeping up.
It isn’t so much my problem, though. I am just plankton in the economic ocean.
If a sideways nation like Iran has a stock exchange, that can only mean that even they, the Iranians, are on their way to becoming an economic player in the international stage.
We here in the U.S. better buckle up and prepare for the future. China, India, and now Iran, are not standing still, and they are not alone….. Many of what Americans think of as ‘backward’ nations are making economic strides.
To keep up, and to stay ahead, the U.S must be a vibrant, forward-thinking nation. We need to be a trend-setter, and try to lead some of the changes that are on the horizon.
We need to produce stuff the rest of the world needs and wants.
We have a shot at taking the lead in green technology. The whole world is interested in this.
Let us lead.
