China is the major investor of over 10 billion into Angola.
China is the major investor of over 10 billion into Angola. They are building skyscrapers, highways, a railway system across Africa and a few hospital/schools…etc. China recently invested in several western African countries, Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria just to name a few the UN has on its list for violations of human rights by the aforementioned governments. Africa clearly has a HUGE amount of non-durable supplies and natural resources. Typically, Western investments (government not dual tax treaty “invisible private equity tax haven investments”) come with human rights conditions and anti corruption financial oversight policies. China has what is called Sovereign Political respect or something like that. In summary it means China will not interfere or question the human rights policies, such as the documented ethnic cleansing in Somalia and Sudan as it expects those nations to return the favor. It would be humorous if there were not atrocities and crimes against humans being currently being carried out presumably by the leaders of these nations. What makes it even more absurd is that China is brining over its own laborers to build the skyscrapers, build the highways and expand the railroads. There are an estimated 100,000 Chinese (the vast majority temporary laborers) currently in Angola alone. Can anyone say MASSIVE financial corruption? In Rwanda, 500,000 people were executed in 30 days, mostly by machete creating a new precedence for the number killed in a genocide in relation to the days the atrocities were carried out. The country has barely begun to recover only to be targeted by the new imperial invasion. What’s even more frightening is this same government owns the majority of the debt issued by our always humorous government. With China warning of regional bank risk could we see bank failure there and could this spurn a run on the banks? Now this would be fascinating with the Yuan pegged to the dollar. Definitely not what we expect or would like to see, but the idea has to be mulled over. China just stated it has instructed local governments not to support the bailout of investment arms. It’s uncertain if this will cause bank failures and if so how China will react. I guess you can’t run on a bank with tanks in front of it?
Now there is still a considerable amount of cash on the sidelines. Of course, the smart money “informed money” sold out of real estate and stocks at their highs. Now it sits awaiting the latest round of bubble silliness to drive up only to have the lemming bankers buy out the positions and left holding the bag. Of course the bankers spread this lovely debacle on to their retail clients like a disease through the analyst’s recommendations. A vicious cycle we would like you to get ahead of thus our recommendation to buy non-durable goods exporting nations index funds and the US stock market in “recession and inflation” resistant sectors. The war machine will continue for a while as the last great US manufacturing sector where we have an edge on the World. I’m guessing Taiwan will be buying some more jets and missiles as a statement was issued that China now has air superiority. Boeing will trade up most likely on sale of 20 737’s to Turkish airlines. Short Precision Biosciences as US Patent offices issued a second actions rejection of a previously granted claim to Cellectis’ Core technology. So long Cellectis if it’s publicly traded or buy on dips if the open is coming in too high. Ticker is ALCLS on the CAC “or Paris” but can be purchased though Euronext DJ. Trading now up…

Small Cap Stocks - Small Cap
Small cap stocks are a type of stock characterized by their market capitalization size. Market capitalization is a procedure to measure the financial size of an organization. Against the owning stocks, which represent the ownership of all stable and liquid assets of a company, the capitalization of stocks represents the market valuation of the company’s net worth.
A method of evaluating the market capitalization of a company is to multiply the number of outstanding shares with the prevailing cost of each share. However, the evaluation of the complete market value of any corporation requires the addition of its bonds for public trade. The market capitalization has constructed different classes of corporation with large and small cap or capitalization stocks.
