    The Shanghai exchange moved up like a rocket from ~1000 points up to 6000 points in only a few years, and has since fallen about a thousand points in a few months.

    The Asia markets will crash and burn. It will be very ugly.

    stockstradr: Wow. All of Asia encapsulated in two pithy, trenchant sentences!

    So, all of the Asian markets will crash and burn? Are we talking a redux of the ’97 debacle, or did you have something more serious in mind? You’ll need to be a just a bit more specific to have any sort of credibility with that kind of prognostication.

    Nost: It will be interesting to see how a country known for its statist tendencies will react to the sub-prime crisis hitting China. I agree with your call as to what they should do, but do you really believe they will do it? We have seen years of them stockpiling dollar denominated assets as nothing other than a means of hedging the yuan. Their attempts to cool the Chinese economy have been ham handed (which is not to say that our monetary and economic policy is any better) and not terribly effective. I don’t get the sense that there is a clearly defined strategy at work here. Of course, I don’t get that sense here in the US, either.

    Hi Allan,
    You’re right, that is what I think China *should* do but whether or not she will is yet to be seen. I’ll keep my eyes on it though.

    Man, Peter Schiff must be taking it in the shorts these days.

    I wonder what his response is going to be?

    I suspect he considers this all just a symptom of deleveraging on a global scale.
