Initial version of the gdp chart

Here's the latest version of the gdp chart (based on data from the IMF):

The top 5 rated for growth over the next 5 years were a little surprising: Mongolia, Eritrea, Kazakhistan, Haiti & Iraq. Looking deeper, Mongolia does appear to have high growth potential with a low GDP to begin with and a proximity to China. In fact all 5 have current relative low GDPs and of course it's going to be easier to grow at a high rate starting from a low base. Iraq should certainly do well if they can keep the oil flowing. I'll need to do a little more research on the other 3 to see what the story is with them.

Coming soon: charts that will track the gdp growth estimates, actual gdp growth and stock market performance.
