China's GDP

China's GDP has caught up to Japan's this year.  It's GDP now stands at more than $5T compare to USA's  $14T.

Various sources has indicated that China will catch up to USA in 20 years, around 2030.

But consider that China's GDP has doubled during the last 5 years, why would it take another 20 years to close the 2.6x gap?

I think that, giving current trajectory,  China's GDP will catch up to USA's in about 6-7 years.   This will partly be due to China's natural 10% annual growth, but the Fed will also play a big part,  by printing $$ and tilting the exchange rate further.

Goldman Sach

AGU, DBA bullish reversal

Both in the Agriculture sector.

More Great Stocks

DLTR - Dollar Tree.  As everyone is getting poorer, Dollar Tree benefits.

AGG - This is actually aggregated bonds. As funds flow out from foreign currency and stocks, bonds benefits.

Another Safe Haven Stock

AET - this insurer -- and some of its peers -- have held up well during the last few day's turmoil.
