P!
Might be a year to make money if anybody has some left.
The new year is starting out just great isn’t it?
North Korea possibly tests a hydrogen bomb....
Stock markets in China, the U.S. and elsewhere hit the skids....
Obama screwing around with our beloved Second Amendment.....
Muzzies sexually assault and rob scores of women in Cologne, Germany
.....and we are only six days into the new year!
Looks like Obama’s red lines.
You’re right! I hadn’t looked at it that way.
Down 7.32% now.
Trading stopped at 9:59 am local time—market closed.
2016 is going to be the worse year in many peoples lifes. Get ready for it. Hopefully you have been prepping.
I guess that's one way for a bunch of traders to go home early. Scary times ahead.
Individuals and small traders are selling, panic in middle class in China
In China, its like 2008 USA stock market.
No, it isnt like USA 2008. One major difference is that the Chinese today are trying to move their money *out* of China.
The problem with halting trade on the Chinese stock market is that an hour later, you’re down again.
One wonders if insiders in China know something about NK...
The middle class is realizing they don’t exist. It’s kind of like the coyote going off the cliff...and not realizing Gravity is about to take over.
On October 9, 2006, North Korea announced they had conducted a nuclear test in North Hamgyong Province on the northeast coast at 10:36 AM (11:30 AEST). There was a 3.58 magnitude earthquake reported in South Korea. There was a 4.2 magnitude tremor detected 240 miles north of P'yongyang. The low estimates on the yield of the test—potentially less than a kiloton in strength—have led to speculation as to whether it was a fizzle (unsuccessful test), or not a genuine nuclear test at all.
On May 25, 2009, North Korea announced having conducted a second nuclear test. A tremor, with magnitude reports ranging from 4.7 to 5.3, was detected at Mantapsan, 233 miles northeast of P'yongyang and within a few kilometers of the 2006 test location. While estimates as to yield are still uncertain, with reports ranging from 3 to 20 kilotons, the stronger tremor indicates a significantly larger yield than the 2006 test.
On 12 February 2013, North Korean state media announced it had conducted an underground nuclear test, its third in seven years. A tremor that exhibited a nuclear bomb signature with an initial magnitude 4.9 (later revised to 5.1) was detected by both Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization Preparatory Commission (CTBTO)[34] and the United States Geological Survey (USGS).[35] The tremor occurred at 11:57 local time (02:57 UTC) and the USGS said the hypocenter of the event was only one kilometer deep. South Korea's defense ministry said the event reading indicated a blast of six to seven kilotons.[36][37][38][39] However, there are some experts who estimate the yield to be up to 15 kt, since the test site's geology is not well understood.[40] In comparison, the atomic (fission) bombs dropped by the Enola Gay on Hiroshima (Little Boy, a "gun-type" atomic bomb) and on Nagasaki by Bockscar (Fat Man, an "implosion-type" atomic bomb) had blast yields of the equivalents of 13 and 21 kilotons of TNT, respectively.
On January 5, 2015, North Korean TV news anchors announced that they had successfully tested a "miniaturized atomic bomb", about 5 miles from the Punggye-ri nuclear site where a test was conducted in 2013.
On January 6, 2016, North Korea announced that it conducted a successful test of a hydrogen bomb. The seismic event, at a magnitude of 5.1, occurred 19 kilometers (12 miles) east-northeast of Sungjibaegam.[41]
The commies are just making it worst
