Our stock market is IO, some energy companies not killed yet by netzero, and big banks feeding on mortgages to retail real estates, with an extra boost from a super system which is also funded by employment, all based on a chinese supply pyramid.
Crude but true.
Do we still assume that what is good for the US market is good to China, and reverse?

Unfortunately this yo-yoing will be with s as long as The Trumpet does, and he doesn't.
Definitely brain dead moves on a whim.
I was talking to a bloke with friends in the Mid West of good 'ol US of A.
