Re: HK real estate devaluation/banking crisis/currency crisis Yeah, pretty scary, huh? You've got to wonder why the Hang Seng isn't tanking more. Talk about perma-bullls. If we were in the midst of similar circumstances, my short-o-meter would be in the red. Not that things are so great here. But if it's better than the alternatives on a risk/reward basis people will buy it (whatever market). Looks like they're getting the picture over in Tokyo tonight. Nikkei down to 15073.83 (-353.44).
