When the chinese bubble finally bursts, it will make the dot-bomb era look tame.
Nothing else to do but shake one’s head at this.
Moin from Germany,
but keep this in mind…
The mainland A-share float has a free float of about 2 per cent – and such a thin float makes market price a poor guide to intrinsic value
in a closed system (since we or anyone other than mainland chinese can’t participate) how is that any difference than Level 3 valuations??. It only floated a small portion of scaleable shares.
Don’t forget that low floaters are usually what you thought the first time you heard the phrase……

Speculation in oil is conveniently shrouded in “fundamental” issues like demand, etc. but the real fundamental affecting oil now is greed. “De-Nile is more than just a river in Egypt.”
the ADS’s listed in NY show down 10% today and a market cap of 400B…

The perfect end to the perfect bubble.
Can anyone confirm whether Chinese mainlanders can short stocks? I believe they are not allowed to do so?
oh, for a second, I thought you were referring to last week’s tally of counter party defaults on OTC derivatives.
This is a bell ringing for the blow-off top. Being the inveterate gamblers they are, don’t expect the Chinese will hear it for another year.

So you telling me speculation is keep the oil above the fair price of what $25 USD ??
Or what should it really be my intelligent friend ??
The Chinese have had a taste of the good life…now it’s time to pull the rug out, destabilize and finally rush in with “bailout” loans with all kinds of strings attached. Nothing new under the sun.

?????????????????????????????
I don’t understand ??
Is it the chinese you implying with credit problems or the US ??
There is a trade surplus and the associated excess liquidity in China, a far different situation than that in The US.
Barry- If PetroChina is value around Trillion, then I am worth four times as much.

China a bubble? Na – China is USA in 1890 with the head start in tech.

What’s that I hear? It’s the sound of the Great Big Bell going Ding! Ding! Dong!
Shanghai A shares are up 60x from bottom to top. Bubbles are usually 20x at the extreme. I can’t find another precedent in history.
We all know what’s going to happen here. The issue is, it could start tomorrow, or another 10x from here.
