Stocks are shaky and I'm sick of Trump manipulating the market (intentionally or not, probably unintentionally) and the general flip-flopping of politics right now with China/NK, not to mention the other markets (Italy) that are having some troubling signs.

I have a broker client that has told me he has secured Hard Money deals from a Chinese investor in the 6% range because savings are so low in China, even negative at times. 

He also import his own material from China and can use that in his advantage to offer lower than anyone else

Since Boeing's market is now primarily China and Asia, it seems unlikely that the move to Chicago had anything to do with proximity to market. 

I recently purchased a duplex and bought the cheap China-made vinyl blinds from Lowe's (Project Source).

As we see, China is booming.

This property has clothes, china, file cabinets, trophies, crystal, appliances, etc. left from the previous owners.

My theory in short (abstract from my blog) is this:With a devalued dollar, China and India needing more energy to address their industrial growth, supply and demand ratio increasing on a daily basis - the amount we pump out of the ground is inversely proportional to the demand in the world, a subsidized price that we were paying in the past in the USA (around 90s and early 2000) and Inflation.

It never materialized but with my new conditions (money to work with, proximity to china, schooling in import/export) it looks like it will become a reality.
