Oct 30th, 2008 | By Irwin Greenstein | Category: Emerging Markets

Global markets are soaring today on renewed bailout efforts. But Irwin Greenstein says its probably not a good idea to jump back in to these emerging markets just yet.

You can stick a fork in the U.S. economy. It’s done. Hope for an abbreviated European slowdown has also evaporated. So now the world turns its desperate eyes towards the developing world. And it ain’t looking good there either.



China’s Homeowners Get a Boost, But That Won’t be Enough

Oct 22nd, 2008 | By Irwin Greenstein | Category: Financial News

As China’s stock markets take a nose dive, the government has embarked on a plan prop up the underpinning of its share-buying public.

Beijing is now focusing on helping homeowners buy and keep their properties in the face a global real-estate meltdown.

Andrew Gordon says there is potential for a resurgence in Chinese energy demand as factories get back to work following the Olympics.
