Below we highlight global equity market declines from recent peaks. As shown, China is currently off the most from its highs -- down nearly 21%. Sweden, Japan and Italy are also down more than 15%. Spain, Australia, Russia and Germany have held up the best, while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 are just about in the middle of the global spectrum. With US subprime woes widely regarded as the cause of these global equity market declines, it's clear that the US still matters -- a lot.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country's wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It's bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own.
