Capital markets work and if China tries to f---k with them they will either be rewarded handsomely or f--ked. My guess is they will be f--ked because someone will figure out the other side of the trade and head them off at the pass. Just ask the Hunt boys how that works.

The key difference is that when the Japanese owned Rockefeller Center, when their investment went south, the building didn't just disappear. When your dealing in equities, you're dealing with "paper wealth," that that paper CAN disappear.

And to be honest with you, I can see George Soros working with the Chi-Coms on this, and actively trying to attack the US economy, while destabilizing the dollar. It's something that he's done before, and neither he, nor the Chi-Coms, have any love for this country.

We agree that it can disappear and if you think that Soros and the Chicoms can beat the market you are wrong. The market will see what they are trying to do and crush them both.

I see it differently. Why invest money in currency that is declining in value?
