No question about it there is herd behaviour, as one of the research analysts points out. Almost $10 billion raised in a Bank of China IPO. For retail investors this is oversubscribed by as much as 80 times and oversubscribed for instituional investors by 20 times. And China's banks lack transparency about the amount of bad loans on their books. Estimates of Ernst and Young and OECD suggest huge amount of bad loans still on the books. IMF analysis by Richard Podpiera as cited in the NYT suggest that the lending to favored parties continues unabated. The Russians are catching on about doing IPO's for their oil companies.The OECD estimate cited by the NYT is for another $203 billion needed to be injected in the banking system by China.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
