I used to agree about China holding together for the Olympics until I saw the Anti-Japan protests. That is a signal that the Chinese leadership is trying to use Nationalism to deflect attention from itself and the countries problems. IMHO Nationalism/Patriotism being pushed is ALWAYS a bad sign for the country it is happening in. When I first researched China, Nationalism was the one warning flag I had determined to watch for as a signal things were deteriorating. That flag is now raised to at least half mast. The riots by the Chinese peasants over the chemical plants is another warning flag. The situation there is clearly deteriorating and bears close scrutiny. Must admit I have definitely become a long term energy bull again and believe the next cycle will probably make this one look like child's play. It may even start a war or two. Believe we will have a deep valley in between due to worldwide recession and all the drilling that has been going on. If/when we do get well into recession prices I will be a major buyer of energy companies...ALL energy companies, and energy will comprise the mast majority of my portfolios. Short term rally coming? A day? A few days? A week? Is it tradeable?
