stock markets are finished imo, page-48

Yes, those Chinese are a worry. 9.1% growth versus 9.3% is definitely a slowing economy, it's just not good enough. And International Business Machines Corp., the world’s fifth-largest company by market value, dropped 4.6 percent in German trading after third-quarter sales of $26.2 billion missed the average analyst prediction of $26.3 billion(0.38% 'off target). Yes, not good enough. If I invested in a company that ANALysts said a 0.38% slump was a sign of catastrophic times ahead, I would sell, better still, burn the shares. India, Brazil, Russia, China, all a waste of time. Close to 3billion people are just not going to consume enough resources, it all hinges on the US 400million to carry the burden.

Yes, those hills are crowded, glad I'm not on them.
