Skyscrapers does not equal prosperity?

You'd think that a skyscraper being constructed means that economic prospects are looking good. But that might not be the case.

The Guardian, The Independent, and a number of other websites around the world, are all reporting the findings of a study by Barclays Capital.

According to that study, there is a link between the building of the world's tallest skyscrapers and the crashes in the stock and property that followed them.

This is not the first time I have heard of this phenomenon.

In an audio presentation that I have come across from 2003, Dr John Demartini mentions exactly the same idea.

And with China and India, two of the "BRIC" nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China), both building a lot of skyscrapers, this seems to indicate that we in the so called "developed world" have not much more than a couple of years to turn our recessions around and start growing again, before India and China go into recession. Best case scenario; we have 5 years before this happens. Worst case scenario; 2 years.

China bans sexy ads!

The Associated Press is reporting that China has banned ads for bras, underwear and sex toys, in its latest push to rid China of what it calls "social pollution".

God, they sound more like the Republicans every day!!!

They might as well ban ads for those figure hugging madarin dresses which are so synonomus with China. Those dresses look even sexier than bras and underwear do.
