For those who forgot, a quick recap: From October of 2007 until present, bulls claimed that China would be the ultra stellar growth module for the entire universe. Nothing mattered at all because China would buy all commodities and drive global profits. Today, the rhetoric is still there but another look under the hood shows otherwise.

I've read much about how what happens in Spain, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Brazil, Germany, and Portugal doesn't matter because the problem is contained. ...

As the bulls stare at one minute tickers and irrelevant oscillators, the distribution of stocks at the global level continues to gather steam. Looking at the chart, GM has been in a downtrend since 0930 hours yesterday. Not a long term chart, but an observation. Why would GM along with some of the smartest minds in the world decide to IPO on any time frame than when they can obtain the max price for their free shares dumped to the public.
