Very very hard to solve the fat problem in the US because there's too much money being made (the margins are great for example, and easy to mass produce in a factory).
And making money is always number 1 in the US and to hell with the consequences.....
Up 70% in 3 months and you think that's great?
I have 3 words for you -
risk adjusted returns.

asia - if you ever lose all your money on your Chinese investments don't worry.
Just apply to work for the Chinese tourist board or better yet some govt. office in charge of promoting Chinese businesses to the world.
You're more than well qualified.
I would think there's plenty of panic if you visit the lending deparments of the chinese banks.
They have lent billions over the last few years on pure vanity projects that will almost certainly never be able to service the original debt let along show a profit.
But of course they're not...
