Sinking 6. 5 . Lets take it by the clock. When i got up this morning, the futures, they were down hideously. And you know i get up early. A couple of reasons. Both chinese imports and exports showed chinas decline in Growth Continues to accelerate. Weve now had 13 straight months where chinese imports slumped right in a row. No wonder copper is in free fall. No wonder theres no place to put aluminum and steel. No wonder irons under 40. Nickel, zinc, i cant even look at them. Its just bad over there now as the economy frantically switches to being consumer base. Only one third of the chinese economy is based on consumer spending. Ours is two thirds. The chinese want their country to be more like ours, more like when we see any data that suggest the Big Industrial engine of china might be sputtering, we freak out. Why . Because so many countries depending on the Chinese Market for growth and its not giving them. Things only got worse, around 4 30 when we heard that Anglo American, the bi
Because i think the key thing was we signed up as many of the providers as possible and we got the information out on all l the membersthe question of how much money the state can funnel into schools is also at the top.

Missed so much on this campus. Ui Officials Say theyre looking forward to this summer. When three flood replacement buildings valued at more than 400 Million Dollars open up. Then in december so too will the 360 Million Dollar childrens hospital. Weve interrupted a lot of traffic patterns, theres been a lot of dust around campus and interruptions and its nice to clear that up, now well have other projects, the community will have other projects, theres a lot of roadwork coming our way in theext few years but its unprecedented and something worth celebrating as for hastings. He may not be thrilled about the prospect of more work. But he agrees, the completion of more than 3 quarters of a billion dollars in projects is something certainly worth celebrating. Its always nice to see these new buildings, its just, i dont know it makes me feel great to be an iowa student knowing we have all these cool buildings come to campus.

Last week i highlighted bank of america as a potential breakout using the work from technician extraordinary tim collins. Do you know what kind of flak i took for that . On twitter i think i caught holy hell for this. I have a whole chapter devoted to them in get rich carefully but ive never seen such a negative response to my decision to highlight it. With all the talk of tapering and the chatter of the Housing Market it was natural to think this would be a year th
