Comments 4 comments

New Zealand has one of the biggest dairy industries in the world. Not just for fresh products, such as milk and cheese, but also processed foods such a baby powdered milk.

This stat has been bandied about in the absence of any believable figures from the government for some time… Property Pear Since China’s property bubble went pear-shaped and threatened to pop, figures having been fighting a turning tide of debt fueled domestic demand, and generally flat export and rising wages. June’s black-Monday on the Shanghai stock exchange have only highlighted what many China insiders have been speculating for a long time. Foreign Dumping The whole thing’s a house of cards…

China’s gold bullion reserve rival US’s

China’s gold bullion reserve rival US’s

Comments 0 Comment

China is strengthening it’s bullion reserves to present its currency as an alternative to the US dollar. Considering the debt ratio’s and relative leveraging of the currency, this is something that must have the Americans worried. Article The title is of course a little misleading because China has many options, none of which except one in my opinion will actually work.  Options to what exactly you ask?  Options to a collapsing global economy and an imploding financial system which will surely…

The surging stock markets in both mainland China and Hong Kong in recent weeks have drawn plenty of people to suggest that, when something rises so fast, it can only end badly. If the sheer volume of eager traders is anything to go by, Chinese stocks are unlikely to return to normality any time soon. Last week, 3.3 million people in China opened new brokerage accounts to buy “A-shares,” as Chinese mainland-listed stocks are called, according to the China Securities Depository…

US recalling troops Reading on the US websites and watching Utube today, I was shocked with the depth of divide between Wall St. and Main St. . One Senator was talking about the level of telephone calls he received (in this video) something like 4 to 1,000 against….

Just one thought about the Henry Paulson ‘TARP’ plan. That the plan has yet to be fleshed out, it assumes mortgages will fail… Can’t those consumers who believe themselves to be ‘sub-prime’, those fallen 3 months behind with payments, already threatened with foreclosure… just take this as a carte blanche not to pay? Can’t those who are able to pay just choose to default? Given the choice I know I would rather default and pay tax, which raises questions about…

A provision is set up in Government. This toxic funding area is paid…
