Seriously though awesome writeup, and totally agree, especially on a couple of points: too much QE by multiple parties is bad for everyone, and with England setting the European exit precedent a Europe debt crisis will most likely be the first global domino to fall (followed by Japan/China - China's will be epic - and finally the US) in the next global downturn. 

However, new job opportunities came up and we are now located in Shanghai, China! 

Recently there have been some pretty big global political events (brexit, Trump) and lots of potential unpredictable moves by Russia, china, Middle East that could send currencies or trade on wild swings.

China’s growth is slowing and its debt is unsustainable.Are we in another slow-motion meltdown?

China has the resources and can survive with 1 less partner.

It is a high-end shabby chic feeling with L'Occitane toiletries, Limoges china (from a great-aunt), nice linens, a Nespresso machine, etc.

Europe is already feeling the pinch, and Russia, India and China are grabbing control of important commodities.

Though currently Russia, China and other huge buyers are looking to increase their gold supplies, so some think the IMF gold would never see the retail market and small time investors and barely affect supply.

I read from the papers that the Asians, specifically, China, are buying up the entire Detroit virtually for cents!

I work with people from China, Korea, Russia, UK, Germany, Guatamala, Mexico, El Salvador, and America and many of my co-workers children are Americans.
