Global Markets Face 'Severe Correction,' Faber Says (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=afYGFBA.L8PQ&refer=home) - Bloomberg, January 8, 2007

Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh Stock Index more than doubled last year and was Asia's best-performing benchmark.Interesting name.....! They probably just took it from the city, but what would Uncle Ho say to this?

Someone better go check if he is rotating in his Hanoi mausoleum as his name is being hijacked for such capitalistic purposes.... :D

Another bit of funny HCM naming - When the Communists took over the West Bengal government in the early 70's, they renamed the street where the US Consulate is in Calcutta to "Ho Chi Minh Sarani"

Ho ho ho & 555!
