Tuesday evening Markus yet again left the country to meet investors and clients in Frankfurt with two of his Polish analysts. It has been almost three months that he has been there and in the meantime quite a few things have changed on his clients' side, with more changes to happen now that Commerzbank has taken over Dresdner Bank.
After a busy schedule on Wednesday, which by the way brought further losses on the stock markets he is active in (Russia, Czech Republic performed worst, down 5% each), he came across a beautiful creature again at the airport: the 747-400. The jumbo-jet, developed by Boeing in the 1960s and introduced to commercial aviation in 1969 is in Markus' opinion the most beautiful airplane, exceeding also the looks of the recently launched Airbus A380. We have had the pleasure flying the "swan" on our way to South-East-Asia, when we went on our first diving-holiday to Thailand back in October 2004 and it was quite an experience. Not that Kerstin cared so much about the plane she was sitting in, as long as the bird was flying, but Markus was really excited!

We wish we could board this beauty and ideally sit upstairs! Given the heavy traffic on Frankfurt Int'l Airport most people hate this airport, but due to the vast number of 747s one can see there Markus likes it quite a lot. Whenever he spots one of these planes landing, taking off or parking, he is overcome by the urge to fly away and go on a long-haul trip - be it for holiday or business. So here we are again: holiday feelings but no plans or flight tickets in the pocket yet. The desperation level is still low, but with every visit to Frankfurt it will rise again. You can be assured!
Kerstin & Markus
