Thanks for taking the other side of my trade.  I'll think of you from time to time when I reinvest my profits.

Every Ponzi has a beautiful story but every one ends up badly. In China case, a super-inflation will follow and solve all current problems. Chinese people have to eat all the loss because their currency is not 'world reserve'

 This seems especially relevant with the eruptions in Iceland.Probability of Katla erupting is high, and it has destroyed crop harvests in Europe before.If that happens, the redirection of capital for food could be exactly the drop required to push China over the precipice.Global Fail.

I know if Katla erupts then it will destroy crops in europe and possibly asia.  But what it will do across the planet is give us a few years of hard winters with a 5 degree drop across the planet.  They said that the Mississippi was frozen a right above New Orleans when last Katla erupted.

Dont worry, dudes. Iceland will join EU within few years and then all volcanos will be regulated! ;)

Great presentation... however 'Black Swan' comes with conotations of the 'unexpected' with it. Try this catchy title instead...

China - The Mother of all Ticking Time Bombs!

Bubble tea anyone?
