That FDIC interest situation is part of it. When Yeltsin just hinted that interest rates on savings should go up a little, there was a convenient stock market drop. Raising those interest rates to just 1% or so would deflate the stock market a bit.

I didn't know that Chinese and other foreign money in the stock market was such a big deal. So what we've got is a global economy posing as national economies in control of everything? That's even worse than cynical me has been envisioning. The globalist elite can pull the plug whenever they want?

Take my comments as exactly that, comments on a public forum by an independent commentator.

I do not have specifics to back up my impression.

All I know is that China is rapidly generating huge amounts of money, which can move to where it is rewarded.

Internationally, America is an easy place to invest in. We have always been easy.

All I am saying is China is not easy to invest in.

I believe our market is being inflated by international money, which ends up invested internationally anyway.

All of this is the personal opinion of just one independent internet browser.
