Chinese Recession

Chinese Recession

Question: why did China shut down its stock market after only a half hour? Answer: Because a Chinese stock market crash is not very filling. You swallow a 7% decline, and a half hour you’re hungry for another one. Ba-da Bump! Don’t everybody groan at once. Next...
