China

China's hot. According to just about everyone, including my former employer, Jeff Immelt. I trust Jeff...a lot of my retirement savings is riding on it!

I'm trying to get into investing...trying to figure out where to put my money, etc. According to Slate: Go Work in China, Immediately. But don't buy any stocks from there. But about a gzillion China Stock blogs would tell you differently!

I'm still trying to figure it out...

Mexico: Tends to be very upset with China, because a lot of the work that was formerly sent to Mexico started to go to China a couple of years ago. End result seems to be that if it is, for example, assembly of something that would be very expensive to ship, or needs a short turn around time, we will still get the business...because China is just to far away.

Oh well, that's economics, folks!
