It is good to clear all your holdings, since it is the only way to encourage a lively market and at least the market makers can cover their shorts and with extra being loaded can call up the prices.  We, esp those holding second and third liners are waiting for a long time already.  Prices refused to move up for us to profit.  Only inching down for us to lose, what a pathetic market or what a cruel lot of market markers.  They can live while others must die.  Wait til nobody can feed them, but I think they can feed themselves by pushing up prices, quite understandable.

The only thing is the poor image that we have a money eating market, so we lack the real outside people bringing in funds.  We only played among locals, don't know how long we can last.  You see, we have weakness such as shorting via borrowed shares.  I can tell you that this is totally bad for health, economic health that is.  You imagine oneself as cutting a little bit of meat from their body to feed one's hunger and family members (league of syndicates).  They enjoy and get over the hunger very well, but over a longer period of time, there is only bones and skeletons left, these group of people die away too and so our economy also will finish.  This is an analogy of short selling with or without borrowed shares.  Anyone disagree?

If you believe the growth story and it being the proxy in Chongqing.

I hope not another Midas though I am vested at 0.625. I sold Midas, lost $200 brokerage fees and switch to YL.
