    European Stock were outperforming everything else beside metals…f.e., if you look at the 30 companys in the german DAX30, you will find that all compamys have a P/E for 2007 in the 10-15 range, and that given a new 5 year high in the index…seems like the party hasnt even started.. (-:

    Peter: Well, the REITs were the best performers of all our Vanguard holdings this year … I don’t own any German stocks directly (just through the European Index Fund).
