I just wonder if they got ole Burney to cook the books or seek advice to make this financial gains report... lol Pulling money out of thin air (with no gold or silver to back it up) always amazes me. They all are running out of the boiler room as fast as they can because it's about to blow... Zooot Far out what a neat article you wrote.

It's as if they have gotten so used to government monkeying and false handling they they trust and rely on it. They know its a house of cards but to bet against the government has been a bad bet so often. How can China create confidence when the outside world is hemorrhaging and all anyone can do is sink their money in real estate and stocks? Yet, the business people I've spoken to think they just have to wait it out. They say too difficult for the individual to change habit and consume except at the luxury level maybe. I don;t see how the hole is going to get filled if he is right. People want a clear path ahead, no risk. It’s a shame these views are insights instead of common sense.

It surprises me how Chuck Butler keeps drinking the China "Healthy Economic Growth" kool-aid. I think Bill is right about this, something doesn't add up. I agree.
