What global Meltdown?

The lost decade, wallstreets woes, isnt there a simple explanation for that? China has been growing since the late 90s at the tune of 9% in a bad year, oftentimes going over 10 %. If you know more about the markets than apple and the dowjones where are you gonna put your money? Apple is not a bad pick, but when you are done investing there, you are gonna spend whats left in china, which has been growing at the tune of 10%. If you have a balanced portfolio you make 15% easy.

Is it any wonder the dow is struggling?
