Stock Market Update

(Stuck with the Overbuild)

I normally don't give out stock advice but here goes nothing. Stay away from China Realty. They are going through some things right now that is crippling their stock market. Its the Evergrande scandal.

A few decades ago the Chinese fell in love with Caterpillar (CAT). They bought up an Armada of bulldozers, back hoes, cranes, and steam rollers. They started building not just new modern neighborhoods, but entire new cities.

They are now known as 'Ghost Cities'. They are called that because apparently no one lives in them. That's right they built at least a dozen entire new cities and they are all virtually empty.

The reason being is that their millennial age group is virtually non existent. That means they have hardly anyone there that is aged 18 - 35. This is because of the laws in China regarding married life and children.

It's not illegal for them to have more than one child, but its similar to being deemed criminal. The Communist government turns its back on your family if you have more than one child. That amounts to no grant monies for college, or other government funded assistance programs.

It wasn't until they discovered the Internet, and Facebook they changed their law. Now they can have up to three children per family and still expect government assistance. They are birthing their new millennial group.

As it is right now China's new millennial army should be about three years old. They better hope they don't get into a war with anyone. What would they do, draft a bunch of three year old's?

In any event their love affair with building new sky scrapers is over. Evergrande stock plummeted and left the world market scratching their heads. They apparently had several large interest payments to pay on the loans they took out to build the cities.

Many thought that the Chinese government would step in at the last minute and do a cash injection. That's what they had been doing but were reluctant this time. They let it default and then directed state backed banks to scoop up the abandon new cities at cost.

Banks all over the world use real estate as an acceptable collateral. When Evergrande defaulted it sent their entire index spiraling down. Now they are stuck with this huge overbuild.

Some people think that its their just deserts. After all they have been accused with enough intellectual property theft to fill up those cities with knock off products. Putain City in Northern China has been accused of being one of these cities.

It is rumored that the entire city is filled with hundreds of manufacturing plants and warehouses that only deal in knock-off products. Could you imagine if they had a dozen of cities like that. The rest of the world would go bankrupt.

In any event the real estate market is real bad for them now. This is not the first time something like this has happened either. Emerging Markets Asia has apparently lost its luster also.
