RE: Can''''t trust the Chinesei invest very little in those countries..........but indirectly china and india are very important to the base metals sector and the profits they bring to our north american companies. If they fall the profits to our metal co's fall and so do our portfolios. Plus it looks like the U.S. has screwed things up for the whole world so there will be little growth in the u.s. as well. Makes u wonder who you should trust more - the communist chinese or the u.s. govt.
