Of course, if you actually want to make something useful it's a different issue.

Only if people realized how much the US media is controlled. Even the popular message boards are censored. Comments negative to the market are omitted in many cases.

The Chinese are highly rated on their deception techniques with regards to military. I see no reason why this shouldn't apply to other areas.

Faking military exercises? Is there anything real in Chinese "statistics" and "claims"?
Wow, and I thought our government lied. I hope all of these pro China pumpers I see on TV daily pumping China see **** like this. We have our faults but man... the option is much worse...

KD eludes to it but supposedly there is an enormous glut in new container ships that have just been brought to market. Ships that were ordered when things looked much different. I think this is mostly supply/demand driven.

Quote:Lest you're inclined to believe in the "Growth Story" in China, let me point out that they apparently got caught attempting to claim Top Gun footage as having come from a military exercise. Yes, really.  I had to read that 3 times because it is so absurd!

Yeah, yeah, call me when CNBC talks about ocular penetration. Popular and controlled are two different things. A controlled board will never allow harsh language.

We've kind of gone off topic on this thread, but let me continue with that trend...
I was watching the news this morning, and they were saying that in Egypt the government had pulled access to all internet, the Al-Jazerra (sp)...
They didn't want anyone posting videos to you-tube, making internet postings, or anything like that. There were news crews there, but they were the only ones (to my knowledge) being allowed to cover anything, unless people were smuggling their camera's out, or sending their files out to be posted.
If that was happening there when TSHTF, you can bet it will happen here.
I wish I could remember exactly what was said, but that's not happening. I got the gist of it though.

I have certain rules I live by. My first rule: I don't believe anything the government tells me.
I don't have pet peeves, I have major psychotic f-ing hatreds! And it makes the world a lot easier to sort out.

For me, the BDI decline means falling general freight rates.
falling rates, increasing input costs in general.
But there's a lot of potash loads for the time being.
Gotta make hay when the sun shines.

The BDI is totally useless because it doesn't consistently correlate with anything. Sometimes it is a perfect 1, sometimes -1, and sometimes it just meanders. The question is why does it seem to randomly flip its relationship to stock prices?
