Well, I don't have much of it, and I haven't sold it either. So far no crash and burn. :D . I'm a gambler at heart. The payoff for this could be HUGE. The downside is no worse than most other stocks. So, I'm willing to hang in there and see what happens, and I'm not going to die if I lose a...

I totally agree with your article. But I don't believe it's too late.

Well said. Its been brought up several times... instead of reacting to China's perceived 'threat', we need to do some belly button contemplation about what we are doing ourselves. What our politicians are doing, how to change the trend that has been going on in the last 20 years in an...

I totally agree Tums. However, that's not to say that China wouldn't assume the US wouldn't attack them. Saddam never ever expected the US to attack him, even when he took Kuwait. He considered the US a friend because the US financed his long painful war with Iran for 7 years. And well...

Thank you for the article links. That is a brilliant and far far better argument than anything I could say.

Really? Why doesn't General Zinni work for Endur LLC? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/21/60minutes/main618896.shtml Or Batiste, or Eaton: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/military/jan-june06/iraq_4-13.html Maybe Schwartzkopf left for money in the private sector, I don't know him. But...

I didn't stay in Shanghai very long, 1 day, compared to Beijing. In Beijing, many people said they once did want to come to the US... but not anymore. The sheer HOPE for the future was something I didn't expect. As for educating their children in the US, we do still have the best schools...

Exactly. People still think that Hong Kong is China. The vast majority of chinese in the US are from Hong Kong, a former british colony that was and still is incredibly overpopulated, with a HUGE income disparity between rich and poor, with almost no middle class. It wasn't the rich that...

True. But that didn't stop Bush when we went into Iraq. Why would it stop him now?

So tell me, why doesn't bloodthirsty Bush do something about North Korea and Iran's boldly announced (rub in face) WMD? Since we're so superior, and we just fought a war over the RUMOR of WMD (false at that), wouldn't it make sense to actually go fight over the announcement? Oh yah... we...

I was in China this summer. I totally agree about the pollution, tho I was suprised to see BLUE SKIES over Beijing one of the days I was there. hehe. They are making progress. Very determined progress. And the pace of that progress has picked up dramatically... I was last there nearly 20...

Guess you haven't been paying attention to the Chinese manned spaceflights last year. They now have an astronaut team of their own. Grant you, we are still ahead of them, but considering how far they've come in how fast, it's hard to say how long it would take for them to catch up on this...

I want to see Bush brought up on war crimes. Barring that, at least the inconvenience of a Congressional investigation by Independent Council. I don't know why Bush can't be hung next to Saddam, I think Bush has now killed more people in Iraq than Saddam did, including 3000 Americans. Saddam...

It dipped below 43 for a few seconds, and immediately came back up with nearly 3000 in bids at 43.02 and only 71 asks (this changed as soon as it moved a penny, just illustrative). No clue what it will do at 3:30 but it is definitely holding the line and reversing upwards now.

I have been to Shanghai recently. It is staggering. If China upped their prices tomorrow, they'd kill us... and they know they'd kill themselves. We're still a huge trading partner if not the only one. Imagine how well a bank would fare if 1/3 of its loans all defaulted at once. If you can't...

We can't leave Iraq now. If we do, we give Iraq to Iran. We funded Saddam Hussein for 7 years to fight Iran because of the Ayatolla Khomeni (remember the 52 hostages in Iran under Jimmy Carter?). That's why the Gulf War 15 years ago meant we fought against some of our own weapons and old...

Buying at the bottom is absolutely the greatest way of making money. The question has always been and always will be... how do you know it's the bottom?

Lucky for the US, China's goal is only economic domination and not military. I'll never forget something I read about 20 years ago that said that the China thought it was a great thing that the US spent 2/3 of our money on our military instead of our economy... because it gave every other nation...

Ouch. Sorry to hear of your loss. Biotech really bugs me out, because it does that. I used to play them the most, til I got my fingers burned off. Now I keep my little bloody stumps in slightly less volatile sectors. While I love to gamble, I'm really a very sore loser. :D

Well, I'm in pretty good shape. Hoping for a drop actually, now I can buy back covering Jan calls:P. But but... will it drop more so I can make more money? Or don't be greedy and buy back now? Ahhh... decisions.
