there is not much of a secondary mkt for housing, as long as brand spanking new of same are being built and offered even as the new ones are further out from the center of any town, but

there is a secondary market, even if small, big enough to satisfy that small portion of stuff-hoarders who need liquidity - why sell when value in any given location keeps going up, and

there is a leasing market

also, given the urbanization truth, apartments will continue to grow in value relative to anything else, especially cash

all usa truths, that which applies to usa state, cannot seriously be applied to china, as the two are at very different stage of the grand cycle of events

with regard to china, think family values, education, productive diligence, cooperative dialogue, scientific planning, decades long planning horizon, true growth, genuine dynamism, honest savings, sincere fear, and very astute and united population borne of several hundred years of of very bloody invasions and revolutions - i.e. think civilization - reversion to a very extremely high mean

under the circumstances, the chinese politicians, however moronic, can do no wrong.

with regard to usa, do not think any of the above that applies to china. instead think (i) birthright, (ii) spendthrift, (iii) bravado, (iv) blood lust, (v) conquest, (vi) tomorrow, - i.e. think pop culture - spending down of a genocidal legacy that was prolonged by world imperial war profiteering and further enhanced by a fiat money borrow-spend-print fraud

under the circumstances, the american politicians, however astute, can do no right

imo, a realistic enough premise to watch and brief on

iow, the very chinese conviction, in alignment with confucius education, that "history has meaning, and karma is inescapable" is coming to the fore, and

the typical-enough american superstition, contrary to the teachings of the bible, that "history has no consequence, and actions cannot be put to account"

:0)

i am feeling up, worthy of my new pen, not because gold is down, but given that everything except cash is down, which means one can getmoregold
