Worse for us is that China is buying 500,000 barrels more oil than what they need. They plan on storing it for when the price rebounds.

Batten down the hatches.

Europe is in economic trouble too?

The whole West is. China is cashing in on their Western reserve debts and stockpiling resources at the same time.



It's economic end times. Far more people than ever will be starving in another year, all around the world.

China is collecting on the money the USA owes it?

Not just the US. All of the West. China is cashing in and bulk buying when and where the prices are cheap. Trillions of dollars worth are up for exchange now. Western governments are rushing to China's ear in order to convey a need for a soft approach, lest it rattles markets too much.



It won't help.



Pay down your debt and bulk up on your provisions. Interesting times are ahead.

Someone posted yesterday about China buying more oil than what they need..



Can you provide a link about China collecting Western debts?



I won't read it now, but maybe on my lunch break.

BBC talked about it just today on their newscasts. Look into it, Fash.

Another article on the Slowing Global Economy & some hints/tips on what an Investor should look for or put their money in:



http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/slowing-global-growth-its-not-investing-as-usual/article26644436/">http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-in ... e26644436/">http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investment-ideas/slowing-global-growth-its-not-investing-as-usual/article26644436/

Investors relying exclusively on global stocks for returns could find the next several years to be unrewarding, said John Mauldin, a widely followed economist and best-selling author.



Valuations are high, the global economy is weakening, and U.S. corporate profit will suffer as a result, he said.



"If you're simply relying on a long-only portfolio to make your returns over the next seven years, you are whistling past the graveyard," he said. "There are a dozen different trading strategies; find a group of them that will work some of the time."



Mr. Mauldin, the chairman of Mauldin Economics and the man behind the popular investment newsletter Thoughts from the Frontline, was in Toronto on Thursday to speak at the CFA Society Toronto's annual forecast dinner.



Most of his forecasts stemmed from a view on slowing global growth. China pace of expansion is shrinking, although Mr. Mauldin does not foresee a hard landing absent a "serious policy error."
