>>Government officials are said to be aware of the problem, but chose not to inform the World Health Organisation and instead threatened to dismiss Chinese journalists who report human deaths as a result of the flu epidemic. << Sounds like one more rumor without cold-hard fact to support!

Hello que_seria, <<More on bad birds>> In an almost wicked way, we must be thankful that HK-based chicken are now priced at USD 12/bird when one can get it. This means: Shangri-la Hotel finance.yahoo.com Travel Sky finance.yahoo.com Chow San San finance.yahoo.com Luk Fook finance.yahoo.com ... should be tanking dramatically, soon, and thus paving the lonely path by which we may pay a repeat visit, to loot and pillage, and to abscond, as we did not so long ago: Message 19210400 <<August 14th, 2003>> Message 19221008 <<August 18th, 2003>> Message 19584454 <<December 11th, 2003>> I did not create the chicken problem, I do not encourage it as a annual event, but, gad, with presumably god-sent crisis/opportunities like this, who needs dividends. On a more serious note, I think this disaster is not as bad as what we had last year with SARS (society simply ideled for 3-4 months), but as time flies, there are plenty of bad possibilities still. I am guessing all the issues involved are quite deflationary, good for cooling the China bubble, bad for asset prices, and gives a whole lot of things to look forward to, like Spring and Summer. Chugs, Jay
