Slightly off topic but on the subject of China, watched this documentary on netflix over the weekend. https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80221646 The China Hustle. All about reverse takeovers of listed companies by Chinese companies. Companies massively over egging there profits. Reporting $10m profit locally but $100m to US markets. Best line was something like, “Its not illegal for Chinese businesses to lie to foreigners” Worth a watch.

Only been lurking here for a few months but this is a great thread, please keep it up durhamborn & SP & others, learning loads.

Yet another lurker (only a few months) joining in. Live in SE, work in the city, wanting to get out. House on the market, not selling but then I wouldn't (couldn't) buy it for the price recommended by estate agent. Looks like it could be an interesting next 6 months. Does it stay flat or go down?
