Well, for one thing, and besides the fact it appears Chinese officials intend to manage monetary policy in a vacuum, Bloomberg headlines also read 50% of commercial space in Beijing is vacant, with more of the same expected for additional buildings still under construction.

The ABCs of ETFs Investing, The Pros and Cons of Different ETF Funds / Companies / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Marin_Katusa
By Marin Katusa, Casey’s Energy Opportunities : Why invest in a fund, a cluster of stocks, rather than the stocks themselves? The reasons are twofold.
First, a fund provides cheaper diversification for those investors with smaller amounts of capital. Buying each component of a fund spreads out your risk in the same way, but you can rack up significant brokerage fees in the process.

The iPad and The Impact On Apple’s Business and Stock / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Submissions
Kevin Duffey writes: Ok, the dust has settled a bit on the brand new product from Apple Inc. (AAPL). Apple’s iPad had enormous hype surrounding its release that there is no wonder many people are saying it didn’t live up to it. Unless the iPad could cure cancer while you watch a movie, I don’t think it would have been able to live up to the hype. Thus is the bar that Apple has set for itself over the years. A mark of extreme success in my opinion.

How to Profit From Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia / Companies / Investing 2010
By: Tony_Sagami
I was raised on a vegetable farm in western Washington, so I’ve always felt more at home in the country than in big, crowded cities. That’s why I choose to raise my children in Montana.
When it comes to crowds, it doesn’t get more crowded than places like Jakarta, Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Hong Kong, so I seldom turn down a chance to spend some time in an Asian version of Petticoat Junction.

By: Mike_Paulenoff
The UltraShort Semiconductor ProShares ETF (NYSE: SSG) has rocketed to the upside after today’s early weakness, and is set to put in a key upside reversal day.
