After peaking just below 50 in January, the P/E ratio (trailing 12-month) of China's Shanghai Composite index is now at 20.95. Since China has long been considered an emerging market with high growth potential, it has historically had a high P/E ratio (average 36). However, a P/E of 20 is not unfamiliar territory for the index. Back in mid '05, the P/E got all the way down to 16.39 just before the historic rise in the index over the next few years.
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.
