Its a bit fractaly too if you zoom in. If you look at only the first bear trap I bet you'd be able to see an even smaller bear trap before that. It's a mugs game to play stocks against computer models making millisecond trades anyway.

What? Mid term and long term investment does not have a lot to do with hft. Now, you still want to be careful about going up against mamoth statistical (and inside trading :haw: ) operations for similar reasons, but it's not exactly infeasible to outguess indices.

(Almost everyone who is not an inside trader will be essentially flipping a coin, though.)

More on topic, this is looking rather nightmarish. Oh well, I'm sure a Chinese crash won't have negative side effects.

Oh I am sure some people could do it but I would bust out almost immediately, I suck at that poo poo.
Long term investment yeah, but trying to get money on a bubble like this.

Oh, I misunderstood your point. Yeah I'd be real real hesitant in this sort of volatile, about to be more volatile environment.

In that context it's just a light to the powder keg, and if the tide doesn't break now there'll be plenty more seizures to come where it might.

While I think your assessment is very solid, your metaphors are getting alarmingly mixed.

So now there's a lot of high explosives just chilling on ships for the foreseeable future?

Stay safe, goons in Maritime Transportation. I know we have a surprising number of those (although it might go down in the near future :ohdear: ).

China used up around 2.5% of their foreign reserves last month, most of it likely going into propping up the markets.

They're going to slow down to Brazil-like mediocrity and it won't be dramatic enough to force any kind of dramatic, face-losing critical re-analysis of the China's Going to Rule the World narrative, the pundits will just quietly shuffle off to the next Oriental Superpower to start hyping up and pretend these last 20 years never happened

Finally, Sri Lanka's time to shine!

Alternatively, Thailand after the crown prince takes power and conquers the rest of Indochina for making fun of his poodle's birthday celebration.

This year will surely be the year the PRC economy completely melts down -forjar38, 2011-

White people's deranged hatred for china is all the more hilarious given their own odious history of settler colonialism and genocide.

Don't overgeneralize, Peven. Some of us feel China deserves the opportunity to catch up to our high score. :colbert:

edit: oh, sure, a lot of the technology-differential low-hanging fruit has been plucked, but with the climatepocalypse right around the corner there's a whole new batch of imperialism and atrocity ready to be had.
