   I don’t think the Chinese stock market is the only thing going wrong
   right now.

   Whoops, looks you really screwed up there. Hope you didn’t fool too many traders..

   10 years ago, a 9% decline in Chinese markets would mean nothing. The times are a-changing. China is now a huge player in the global market, and they will soon overtake the US as world superpower, unfortunately.

   In fact, Chinese stocks went down 9%. It’s a huge drop, and obviously any and all stock exchanges will follow. Since globalization came into effect, everything is connected, and inter-connected.

   Of course, any smart individual would buy up as much as possible with extra cash, of companies that took the biggest hits, even though they shouldn’t have. PTR is at the top of my list.

   Since the drop came from a scare that was never going to happen, and still isn’t going to happen, it provides one of the best opporutinities for investors. Stocks will bounce back in a short period of time, especially on any other market but Chinese; which means everything will go up…

   Daniel, I know how inportant China is, but still Shanghai is small compared to Hong Kong which is China’s main stock market. Moreover tonight the Shanghai Composite Index rebounded 3.9 percent, recovering part of Tusday’s its 8.8 percent plunge.

   I am not selling. The opposite. Tomorrow I will buy (Will put my March $1000 in this roulette!). I am still positive, because I don’t see any economic data about China or the US which justifies a selloff.

   Linas, I am glad you agree with me. Tomorrow I’ll have some cash on budget to buy, and I will. (unfortunately my optimistic $1000 of tomorrow will not chache very much on World stock markets sentiment 🙂 )

   retirein what else is going wrong in your opinion?

   (except of course of the fact that we are poor – and a bit poorer today – and others are rich… – but a bit less rich today – )

   Housing crash leaking into other parts of the economy. Troubling
   inflation mixed with slowing economic growth (see latest numbers for
   durable goods orders). Markets overbought by euphoric speculators. How
   much further is the fall going to go? That’s what I want to know,
   because I am getting absolutely hammered today. Somebody say something optimistic. I need it, brothers and sisters!

   some economic analysts would say, it is time to buy as the next few months the falls in trading is still on but the market confidence will soon pick up as the tumble is not too deep.. so good luck to the optimistic groups!
