yep, what's amazing to me is that China longs to be the most
important and dominant economic player in the world and to a
certain extent they've achieved a lot of this, but their biggest
problem is things like this: actively manipulating their stock
market, opening saying they are buying it and will lend money to
buy it. I've read that China wants more foreign investment
into it's markets, but when people see things like this, it has the
exactly opposite effect, as it gives the sense that it's all rigged
etc. And of course don't get me all started with how much
they control their internet and worry about anything negative
someone says about their gov over there
On the same subject as Matt talked about investing in the
Chinese mkt ...
" Investors throughout China are waiting for the government to
step in and buy more stocks so they can close out their positions,
but many are losing hope."
"But after sinking his entire life savings $164,000 and his
relatives' money into shares of a local mining company, he lost
everything. Not only that, but Yang's brokerage convinced him to
borrow more than $1 million to buy stocks on margin. He now owes
roughly what he originally invested after liquidating his
portfolio."
The Market dynamics and sentiment will be screwed for awhile
there ...
