Dubai Debt Story More Like Bear Stearns Less Like Lehman Brothers
But first things first. Dubai World is not nearly large, leveraged, or systemically important as either Bear Stearns or Lehman Brothers when both those firms failed. For those reasons, it’s unlikely that the failure of Dubai World (and we’re not saying it will fail) would, by itself, cause a global deleveraging.

China Will Rule the Business World While America Finds Itself Heavily in Debt
The 19th century belonged to Britain, the 20th century belonged to America and in the 21st century, China will rule the business world. Whether you like it or not, this transition is already underway…

Dollar Rally the Sort of Thing that Will Lead to Correction in Gold Price
House prices were up 6.2% in the third quarter over the same time last year, according to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. House prices in the capital cities are surging. Stocks are surging. Gold and oil are surging.

Total Implosion of the Chinese Economy
You could take all of these as signs that China is leading the world to recovery and managing itself quite well. It should achieve 8% GDP growth. That’s the growth rate that China’s economic planners reckon the country must achieve to maintain high unemployment. And high employment rates promote political stability – valued above all else by a regime that makes free market gestures but still is run by old school communists.

Aussie Dollar Ready to Storm Past US Dollar
Yesterday’s episode of the Daily Reckoning left off with the question of whether 5,000 was in sight on the ASX 200. The answer today is that it is just over the horizon. The index closed up 2.3% to 4,695. The more investors thought about the recovery/China/demise of the dollar story, the more they liked buying stocks (especially gold stocks).

The Bubble Deniers Deny that Their Own Stimulus Caused it
In the non-communist world, if a man had money and no bread, he exchanged the former for the latter…and sat down to dinner. As if guided by an ‘invisible hand,’ millions of people did the same thing. Everyone tried to get a bit more grease on his plate, by making his own decisions based on the facts before him.

JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Making Billions in Profits
But here at The Daily Reckoning, we can’t help ourselves. If we see a silver lining, we look for the cloud. We see garbage…we look for the rat… We begin with the JPMorgan profit announcement, because it is the most intriguing. Let us set the stage…

Market Driven by the News
It was another “blah” day on the overnight markets. If you think markets are event-driven (the news drives the market) this makes sense.

Chinese Economy Seems to be Growing
One of the risks we think is especially understated for China is the risk of central planning. Investors tend to favor China – over, say, India – because they think the Chinese government – even in the hands of communists – is capable of guiding the economy to prosperity.

The New Chinese Era
People still criticise the monolithic power of the Chinese Communist Party, but the relative change is what strikes anyone who knew the old China. China may not respect civil rights or allow certain kinds of free political discussion, but the new China is inexorably much more open and free than the old China.

Chinese Economy Appears to be Transitioning Into a Sustainable Form of Adolescence
A dozen or so gun-laden soldiers from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) stood quietly among the customs agents at Lo Wu Station. The KCR East Rail, the commuter train that left Hong Kong at Tsim Sha Tsui 45 minutes prior, pulled in for its last stop. Shenzhen, once a remote Chinese fishing village nestled peacefully at the mouth of the infamous Pearl River Delta, towered in the distance.
