Don't forget to throw a peasant revolt in the mix. According to Drucker, there has been a peasant revolt in China about every 50 some odd years since the early 1700's. The last one, (I believe) was in the 1940's.... There are more people wandering the streets ( paths ) in China than we have in the US... Not just unemployed- un-anything.. Drucker notes this as a wild card....to China and their ST stability.. Long term- you have their Godzilla monster whatjamacallit thingamajig... Heard he is wicked... BWTHDIK... ;)

might be more excitement and less relative pain at the track than the market -vbg- one comment i heard about China is that there is a major move from the rural areas into the cities...so i'm presuming that whatever the statistics say or don't say aren't so relevant as the basic fact that this migration = demand for commodities such as the ones we here are interested in... anyway, i presume you have or will note the next post on zinc...i had some breakwater...sold it for a minor profit at .46 is it a good/great buy here (probably one of many in the mining sector)...just wondering if anyone has any comments...
