I don't quite understand. The article mentions that the vacancy rate is 2.5%. So does it mean that there are 18.9 million * 40 = 750 million homes in US?? 750 million!?

Some figures for you all... these are not official statistics but what I learn from my own first-hand experience. These are the figures for cities like Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. i) a fresh university graduate makes ~USD400 a month ii) average housing price is around USD3000-4000 per...

I am in Chinese working in a western MNC. I am in charge of a line which has revenue of around 50 million USD a year. To be fair, corruption and cheating is common here. But we have many cases that our US distributors cheat on us too. What I mean is not just lying during negotiation but...

I am the one who started this post. First, I just found this article. http://news.hexun.com.tw/2010-07-08/124182612.html It questions whether the reliability of the news as: i) the flats are found to be vacant by measuring the power meters. But there are only a few million power...

http://paper.wenweipo.com/2010/07/07/CH1007070001.htm The article is in Chinese. Key point: 65 million flats in 660 cities are vacant. For a family of 3 to 4 members, this means they are enough to accommodate 200-240 million people. Another article in Chinese too (2006 article)...

Does anyone know whether IB will provide TWS for Android???

Do my existing pages and EFS still work in the new version???

I made 70k and paid <5k tax last year. No sales tax. No capital gain tax. Just income tax. And the government provided me a housing with rent of USD230 a mth. No management fee too. I pay very little for food/traffic/mobile too as all expenses can be reimbursed by my company. I live...

http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,676634,00.html Goldman Sachs helped the Greek government to mask the true extent of its deficit with the help of a derivatives deal that legally circumvented the EU Maastricht deficit rules. At some point the so-called cross currency swaps...

I use IB TWS on my iPhone

Actually it won't happen. Very very little of the FDI is spent on real estate. The bubble is driven by local hot money. Actually if it bursts, US will be affected adversely as China will have less money to borrow to other countries.

As a Chinese, I don't really care whether it will be US, India or China to be no 1 (in GDP). I just care whether my living standard will improve. If the Chinese can't move up the ladder and develop its own technology, it would still be good for US to remain strong and creative and take lead...
