Suma, the problem I have with the vast majority of money managers is that they primarily judge their performance in relation to the major indices, while the absolute returns of their shareholders become a secondary concern. "I know I am not a genius because I am still in the red for the year, in low double digits. But I am matching or beating a lot of supposedly wise value managers, which makes me wonder about them or me, I'm not sure which. And I dug out of my deficit to the market indexes, which is always the basic test." Message 24749700

They have raised official rates repeatedly and backed that up by sequential increases in the reserve requirements of their banking system. In the US, the exact opposite has occurred. The Fed has slashed rates from 5.25 percent to 2.00 percent, has flooded the markets with liquidity of all descriptions and has opened its doors to almost any form of debt paper as legitimate reserves. The Chinese authorities have already burst their stock market bubble. The US authorities do not dare to follow suit. That sets up the outside possibility of a crash.

Fortunately, I saved the deposit slip and it eventually got resolved: Message 24433562
