BHP was around $50 in late 2007 and fell to $20 in 2008.
Does Jim Chanos see something others do not see in regards to the China bubble? If China cacks its dacks BHP and RIO share price will come a lot closer to their GFC2 lows.
Why would China cack its dacks? Too much internal debt, over-building, and distruption in its exports as its trade partners reduce consumption and imports.
BHP was lucky it did not get to takeover the Canadian potash company for $40 billion. It is far safer to grow organically instead of doing stupid takeovers at the top of the market.
Most sensible mob were the owners of Glencore who sold off a part of the company via an IPO near the current top of the commodities cycle.
Yes, a recovery will happen later on- but it will be some way off.
In the meantime watch out for much lower bulk commodity prices as demand falls off and supply increases.
This will be a process rather than an event.
Here is one discussion on the Chinese bubble, but no doubt there are many other views

At present it is safer to just trade the shares.
