Quote from Bogan7:
But there are 1.6 BILLION chinese. That number of new accounts is a drop in the ocean. I dont understand why there are so many people so keen to call the top of this market? I cant imagine many people on here trade the market directly and even if the index does fall do you believe it will cause the US in go into a melt down? If you dont and are trading say the ES ER2 or YM why does it matter so much except for I told you so points.
Cheers
Just a side note - although there are a lot of people in China, only 10% of the families may have enough money to open brokerage accounts.
Interestingly, news indicated that some families belonging to the other 90% now pulls their money together from multiple families, or whole towns (small towns I believe) in order to "enjoy the fruit of Chinese style capitalism".
Not sure what that really indicates - make your own judgement
