China is getting rich, but it is no where near tied to the Fiscal world as America is. It does not serve as a bank. No country really wants to invest in Communism,

As for Brazil, it is a large South American economy, but in terms of geopolitics there are others in front even though the country, currently, is very stable and not to mention eco-friendly, it looks like a great place to be.

i'm more intrested in what roger721 has to tell about the brazilian market.

As a quarter of the world's GDP, I fail to see how you can say that

I feel that I'm getting a little off-topic

you were talking about "the latest news" i thought you had some source of brazils stock market going "kaput"

so your money increases in value. that will only suck for a few year.
1st companys are going to earn more and then they are able to spend more on employes.

I don't fully understand the World's Economies.

All I understand is that the Brazilian government buys dollars when they are cheaper and sell them when they are expensiver or something.

Too complicated... Brazil have a "spend-a-roo" to keep the economy balanced but the prices continuously rise...

*takes an "economy-free" aspirin for a confusion headache*

Brazilian government buys dollars when they are cheaper and sell them when they are expensiver

My country's government isn't that smart...

Corruption is over the top and rich people pay the government and the police to live peacefully...

Maybe an Obama would do the trick here

Is obama a bad president? Is a pig wearing lipstick still a pig?

The United States is neither a dictatorship nor a monarchy, the meaning of this? Surprisingly enough, it means Obama doesn't get absolute power, I know right shocker. If you wish to blame someone, blame the congress that allowed US involvement in Iraq, while pouring resources into Afghanistan, blame the people who re-elected the Bush administration (after constantly complaining about the Iraq war), blame the Democratic congress who allowed the health care bill to be passed, blame the Republicans who absolutely refuse to raise taxes, even if only on the 3% of the population that can claim over $200k per year in income, blame the military which is spending hundreds of billions in weapons, ships, strike groups, and most importantly better ways to kill more people. (35% of all military spending on the planet.) New technologies that cost fifteen billion dollars, and can be destroyed by a ten million dollar missile. The US has no less than eleven carrier groups, other countries have, ONE. Why? Because it's far easier to use a long rang missile than it is to transport an entire strike group half way around the world then spend more money on jet fuel, and in some cases the jets to launch air raids. A missile accomplishes the same goal and if it's destroyed it doesn't take an American soldier with it. "Do the Air Force, Navy and Marines really need $400 billion in new jet fighters when their fleets of F-15s, F-16s and F-18s will give them vast air superiority for years to come? Does the Navy need 50 attack submarines when America's main enemy hides in caves? Does the Army still need 80,000 troops in Europe 66 years after the defeat of Adolf Hitler?"

Seriously? 80,000? We spent less during the cold war, when the world was going to end, would someone like to explain what exactly makes a religious zealot hiding in a cave scarier than that?

4 out of 5 dutch banks invest in china.

they are fair people.

1: countrys were "ING group" are active.
2: "Rabobank" has had a 10 percent interest in United Rural Cooperative Bank of Hangzhou (URCB)
3: "ABN-AMRO" has some offices in china

and beside these banks there are lots of other companys that invest in china.

and i still stay whit my point that the chineese are fair people. maybe some rotten egg's but evry country got those.
you might not trust china but that doesn't mean that evry1 in the world don't trust them.
ofcours their government isn't as you want to see it like the usa. but it does work good. they have already seen that their debt is rising aswell. and are alrdy taking actions to go against it. (not like obama who knows about it but just let it keep growing.)

That would be because until he gets an okay from Congress, he can't do anything, that's how our government works. I thought I'd already gone over that?

Those links you provided are not a proof to back up your statistic, there aren't even four banks there.

is evry1 here always talking so literly about things?

pffff if you don't mind i don't feel the care anymore for it.
i'm used that i can be much more free whit the words and amounts we use. because the point doesn't change.
1 guy said that no1 is investing/trading whit china because it's communists. this is just not true. loads of companys and banks are investing and trading whit china.
thats the point i wanted to make and that doesn't change.

Going back on topic is Obama a good president? Well considering all the crap he inherited from Bush's administration then yes. He's an OK president maybe not the best ever but he's the best we have right now. He fulfilled some of Bush's failed promises like capturing Bin laden. Instead of praying that the economy will get better he's actually trying to do something about it. The republicans meanwhile challenge every good he tries to do because they fear of a "Socialism" taking place which is obviously not happening. Which means they're speculating and acting upon ridiculous things that aren't happening. Also when he made a promise to shut down Guantanamo Bay HE DID. I'll admit he has made mistakes but not as worse as the previous president has made. Remember when he took office. He also had to deal with the other crap Bush left. All in all he's the best we have as of this moment.

Well, when you make a numerical claim without evidence, you bear a burden of proof when questioned about it. You failed to fully back your claim. That's all he was pointing out. I could say that 90% of the US Senate is Republican by posting the profiles of 9 republican and 1 democratic senator, but the claim is still false because it wasn't a fair representation of the entire Senate. You only posted 3 banks actions, not a link about the study of nationwide banking. If you had posted even 5 links (4 for banking in China, 1 against) it's still unfair because there's more than 5 banking companies in your nation.
