The American hostages in China are becoming a daily media obsession but rightly so. It is not just a violation of international law but a major crimp on US/China trade. Right now, I feel that the US needs trade with China more than they with us. It is ridiculous to use trade sanctions that would inflict more punishment in an our economy that is already sliding into a recession. The silence from the international community on this matter is deafening. US now knows who are true friends/allies (no one). BTW, this rally is totally bogus. Last week, we had DELL firm on lowered expectations, and with no visibilty, rallying all markets to a record level. Today we have AMZN which is still loosing money showing a slightly increased level of sales rallying the market. This is what I call 'excuse to buy' mentality. The funds clearly need to put their money in the market even if they are going to loose it. There is just too much money out there still that has to be wasted away before the real hurt is felt. Speculation has to dry up more.
