OT: Emerging Markets Mock the Pessimists

Dougster
"Remember how this time last year a lot of analysts were predicting that 2014 would be a bad year for emerging markets? Didn't really happen, did it? Now I hear economists saying the reckoning they'd expected has only been postponed. It'll happen next year instead. It's possible, but I wouldn't bet on it."

Well I bet those pessimists did not include The Economist or stevie-girl or those, like zipman68, who like to circle-jerk him on his economic/market views here on TUSCL. Because when they are skeptical they always get it right. Why? Because stevie-girl said so!

Now surely we don't have any pessimists here on TUSCL about the economy/emerging markets going into 2015 do we?

Optimists believe this is the best of all possible worlds.
Pessimists fear this is true.

As I see it, how big the bubble gets is a measure of our society's sickness. Our economic system does not work and it needs to be changed. These bubbles might lower the unemployment and public assistance program rates for a while. And they might reduce some of the stress and anxiety for a while. But they are just based on needless resource consumption. If the bubble expands further, then there will more cars on the road and rents will continue to rise. But this resource consumption has no benefit in it. It does not solve any real problems.

But this is why it is broken, and why it is so fragile, because the jobs don't address real needs. They are only there because people keep boosting for the bubble. So as long as it keeps expanding, people keep betting their money that it will continue to. But then finally it collapses, and then people right away start boosting for the next bubble. And the underlying problems and the unmet needs never are met, as we squander non-renewable resources and do irreparable environmental damage.

Shanghai is certainly mocking the pessimists up about 42% now, YTD. Even though stevie-girl and The Economist insisted they would lead the world in its plunge into GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOOM!
