Chinese President Jiang Zemin called for calm in the territory's markets, saying the slump did not reflect Hong Kong's strong economic fundamentals.

Bonnie, >Go look at what happened to Sears. A whole bunch of people, a HUGE number of people, have figured out how to get merchandise for free, courtesy of Sears stockholders. Bonnie, one case does not make a "big" problem. I would need more evidence of this being a epidemic. In the case of Sears we do not have a good understanding of how the governments fine plays into the bottom line. Obviously the strong arm tactics seemed to be working until the company got their hands slapped. I am not arguing that it is not a problem, just we do not have any data "currently" to say it is a epidemic. Where in the South do we have large real estate inflation? Joan
