    So you pick an arbitrary date and compare the US indexes to ones that rose higher and didn't fall as quickly and this is supposed to instructive of something? I suppose if you are getting paid by the word.... Reply

    Don't forget Canada. It's down only 6.1% YTD. High oil and gold have buoyed Canadian stocks recently. Reply

    I agree with Alan. This is much needed info. I'm surprised at the Nat Gas information, though, considering that nat gas is the most abundant source of energy available domestically. I wonder, however, if it will continue to perform so well as the heating season ends. This seasonal factor tends to depress nat gas during the warmer months. Time will tell. Thanks again for the info. Reply

    Global Equity Market Caps: U.S. Loses Ground to China [view article]
    China is hellbent on photocopying the successes -- and shortcomings -- of the United States. They're rationing gasoline and fixing food prices in a futile 1970's-style inflation war.

    Also, the two-letter abbreviation for China is "CN"; "CH" is Switzerland. I was a bit confused.

    I’m sure the “devil is in the details” holds true to this comment.

    If you buy into the hype around fundamental indices (which i do), I would want to see how much the china market has in pure cash flow (top line and free cash flow) versus profits (net and operating) on both a top and company level. My bet….china’s share makes up less than 1% of the world.

    I realize stock sell on future expectations…but please…besides..china is headed for a civil war. The cowboy capitalism of the last few years cannot be extrapolated out indefinitely.

    am i right eric?

    If Not Now, When Mr. Bernanke? [view article]
    If the Fed has to react to every market correction, then something is wrong with the market. If the market is going to "crash" unless the Fed acts, then something was already wrong with the market.

    Maybe they want to do something. But maybe they want to do something at a time when the market isn't going to drive over them like cheap roadkill 5 minutes after they do it. You get more bang for your buck by picking your shots carefully. It's also very doubtful that the situation is that dire, except perhaps to people who thought S&P 1550 five years into a bull market was a good place to hop on board.

    I'd like to see this panic extended a few days so I can buy some values. I don't need a 5 percent Fed-induced burp that will fade like last summer's suntan, thanks.

    You're looking at the wrong ETFs for this time/market. Look at the ultrashorts. I'm up 15.6% YTD primarily because of them. There's nowhere else to be at the moment. Reply

    Don't rush to the door without your overnight pack! It all comes down to the market valuation of the stocks. The same stocks, In China, P/E is 50 to 70; in US, 15 to 20. If you equalize the valuation, there is nothing scary about the scenario! Calm down America! Reply
