There’s good news and bad news this week. The good news, according to the latest Global Financial Stability Report from the International Monetary Fund is that the global financial system is far more stable than it was six months ago. The bad news: despite dramatic financial improvements in recent months, there is a persistent and growing wedge in Europe between financial 'haves' and 'have nots.' Because banks in Europe are broken, affordable credit is not getting through to the parts of the economy that need it, particularly to small and medium-sized enterprises. Also, large amounts of debt are weighing down many corporations in periphery countries, which they built up during the pre-crisis boom years.

| "KION will be gone in five years as it is now: the Chinese will buy it and break it up or merge it into one of the Chinese companies . The people who own the Hydraulic business will take this out and leave KION with no real business - only Germany and France .".
sam_s, United Kingdom | "Well it seems that Liftone is at the top of the poll in the forklift industry. We learned that for the second time this year, profit checks rolled out to all of their employees.
".
nostradamus_p, United States | "Reletively speaking, the weight of the carraige and forks is negligable but I have never heard of anyone wanting to park their lift in such a manner. If you drive by any rental yard, you see every zoom boom in the yard elevated and extended for weeks on end, it would lead you to believe it is a non factor.".
