I fight with a few people when they're wrong. . .or for fun. This time both.

I don't want to read your inane conversation. Why don't you summarise it for me, TaShi?Comment

I thought the following front page Sunday WaPo article gave a pretty good overview. Here's the intro...

Its Problems Become the World's

SHANGHAI -- Looking at the facts, the past year seems to have been disastrous for Worldbest Pharmaceutical. First, there were reports of accounting irregularities and exaggerated profit. Half the managers were fired. Then, in the summer, six people died and at least 80 fell ill after receiving an antibiotic injection manufactured by a subsidiary. Most recently, the company warned investors that it was likely to report its third consecutive year of losses.
None of that cooled the enthusiasm of investors on China's Shanghai Stock Exchange, who since the end of March 2006 have driven the value of Worldbest's shares up 44 percent.
The Shanghai exchange and its smaller counterpart in Shenzhen, near the country's extreme southern border, have long been viewed skeptically by global capitalists, even those enthusiastic about the broader Chinese economy. The markets were considered too new, too small, too closed and too quirky to matter.
That attitude was put to a test last week when, for the first time, a big drop in the Chinese markets helped spark a global stock sell-off. Suddenly, it seemed, the views of Chinese investors mattered to the rest of the world.
And as the Chinese government takes steps to clean up market practices and allow more foreign investments, the rest of the world's markets are likely to continue to feel its growing pains.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

New York was about to melt down on Friday before the market closed. Not surprising to see it spill into Asia.
The red is NASDAQ. I guess it's getting especially hard hit because even though profits are fat, nobody plans to do much capital spending.Attached FilesI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Dashie, could you be any more boring? Actually, you probably could. And the bit about me being an apologist for the Tiananmen massacre, you do realize only a fool would believe that.
Like I said, if you going to lie you either got to make it plausible, or at least make it funny. It's getting to the point where you're just becoming a waste of space.Golfing since 67Comment
