Legendary Short Selling Oriented Hedge Fund Manager James S. Chanos - 8th Jan 2010

This is not a new position for legendary short selling oriented hedge fund manager (who smoked out Enron) Jim Chanos, but he continues to pound the table on the dangers of China. [Dec 16, 2009: CNBC Video - Hedge Fund Maven Jim Chanos on Autos, Banking, and China] It's a tough environment to be short anything globally. As for China, while the positive story is obvious for the next 10, 20, 30 years, I have some serious concerns on what the effects of the misallocation of credit from the tsunami of bank lending that arrived in first half 2009 will be. [Feb 16 2009: Is China Pulling an Alan Greenspan?] But as we saw in the US early to mid decade - those short term "solutions" can take a long time to manifest their eventual evil. And between the here and now, and the eventual fallout you can see huge moves against you (think housing bubble mid decade or tech bubble late 1990s). [May 27, 2009: How is China Spending Their Stimulus? ... and How Many Loans will go Bad?] Chanos is concerned at an even larger level than just this subset of loans - he is worried about the whole China Inc situation - as he calls it.

Money As Debt

Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. It is an entertaining way to get the message out. The Cowichan Citizens Coalition and its "Duncan Initiative" received high praise from those who previewed it. I recommend it as a painless but hard-hitting educational tool and encourage the widest distribution and use by all groups concerned with the present unsustainable monetary system in Canada and the United States
