Today in Shenzen, a woman tried to jump off a building after she lost every last penny of her savings on the stocks. She went to the trading software company, demanding a refund for the e-trading program and compensation for her loss in the market but was unsuccessful.
I think news like this really underlines how connected we are in today's world, where money, especially those in the market, is not just power, but also a gun with the safety off. If you play with it long enough, chances are one day you'll get shot in the face without any warning.
There are no safe havens for this storm that we are weathering. If one goes down, we all go down. It's only a matter of sooner or later. So brace yourself folks, I'm no econ guru but I get the feeling that the stars are about to be re-aligned.
Hope we'll still be left standing when the dust settles.
