1) the world will not end (at least so I hope). People will still live. There are certain sectors that will go eventually up rain or shine before they serve the need for human beings to live and live better. There is a reason that WB is WB. 2) every once a while there are some bubbles coming alone, big or small. They are like fashions. At a given short time frame the whole population got crazy after a singular idea, being it net stock, condo, gold oil or Palm or IPod. Chase them while it's fun to do so, not not longer. Remember Late+greedy= Pain. 3) China will rise. This and that problems yes, but it is producting the huge wealth increase in human history. This is the biggest train in our lifetime I believe so don't miss this one, out of all things and by all means.
