China Stocks & Volatility
According to this China daily article, about half of stocks on the Shanghai exchange are down 30% in the last month, although the index itself is up 85% this year alone:
Almost half of the yuan-denominated A-shares in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges fell more than 30 percent in the past month, a news report said Thursday.

It’s interesting, because there are some stocks, like Shandong Gold Mining Co., Ltd, which are up 153% for the year. It’s incredible:

I don’t understand the China markets, or any markets for that matter, but the amount of enthusiasm and turmoil is fascinating to watch. China is this decade’s big market boom. It will also herald the next largest, global crash we’ve ever seen. Expect China to be the herald of global change!
