I have just been talking to people I know that have recently visited CHINA. These people are very reliable and have contacts in the Business administration departement's of the comunist gov't. They have passed on to me the fact that the Cjinese curency will be devalued after the 1st of the year unless something changes drasticly. Inventories are building up in China at an alarming rate and export's are being hapered by curency exchange. Any ideas how to play this news in the market's?

Jon,

Each person is allowed only a bit more than 2 pounds per week, and elaborate records are maintained to make sure buyers don't receive more than their ration.

Hmm. 2 pounds per week when onions are rationed. I wonder about the consumption when onions are plentiful.
