Roubini addresses the issue as well. I agree with this comment "... sterilizing $50 billion of reserves is clearly mission impossible and the consequences of this monetary boom are a mass of liquidity that is flowing into the stock market creating a massive bubble. ...".

hello regli,
thanks. the longer this last the more china reminds of the stock market bubble in around the world in 1999/2000.
i can remember my active time as a banker when i had to open 5 to 6 times the usual trading accounts or depots as we call it in german.
it was the time when big ipo´s like deutsche telekom, infineon etc flooded the market on a weekly basis.
old people were investing the first time in stocks and bought the riskiest stocks and opened accounts for their grandchildren to increase the chance to get something from the ipo etc.....
3 month after this frenzy ended the market collapsed.........
I just saw a NHK (japanese TV) special on Chinese stock craze last night. They are at it like there's no tomorrow.
One retired couple they interviewed were 100% invested in stocks and were actively trading on daily basis. They were up 30% YTD this year. Can we say dotcom bubble pre-2000? They even showed one day of noticeble stock drop on rumors and this couple decided to buy on bad news and they did well the next day. This buying on the dips mentally is just like what happened post-2000 (and most tech companies on NASDAQ have yet to recover 7 years later).
As one Japanese stock analyst puts it, the Chinese are putting money in the stocks much like how Japanese do it in panchiko parlor (gambling arcade), rather than studying the fundamentals and making investment decisions.
