For people spreading around the Sinic Holdings (2103.HK) chart, thinking it matters... it doesn't.
look at the price chart for the previous 9mos, and how it moved during covid. It has always had tiny official float and even lower actual float.
Sometimes stocks have that pattern. Then they don't.

It isn't the market realizing something all of a sudden. There was no real market.

It is almost always a holder unable to keep holding it up and a margin loan getting called with collateral sold.

I mean fer chrissakes... the stock 'traded' US$900k a day on its median day in the past year.
And that 6863 chart actually doesn't show the end. Not long after that it fell 85% in a day. Then stopped trading forever. Hasn't traded since AFAIK. But the chart before it fell was notable in the same way.

As a follow-on, and leaving it unconnected...

When people think about contagion, they should think about HOW whatever comes of this affects them and their life?

Will US equity owners see massive Chinese household selling of US equities based on this? No.

Will US bondholders
see massive selling of USTs by the Chinese govt to bail out the industry?

No.

Will Chinese consumers spend less on LVMH products? Maybe.

Will Chinese consumers stop buying premium Kona coffee, American furniture, American-made cars, etc? Stop. It was never a thing.
How about iron ore?
I've seen this one bandied about. It's a bit complex. Contango would NOT be the trade. Contracted sales this year are next year's construction demand for steel.

If you expect a total regime change in the amount of floor space constructed, that is 2023 biz.

An excellent treatment by @michaelxpettis. Frankly much more expert and adult than most of what has been written (long form helps).

Definitely worth a read. I would go one step further and say...
...the issue between "good growth" and "bad growth" has effectively resulted in the asset base (and GINI coefficient allowing it) which triggers the warning that houses are for living in, not speculation. The debt growth has served local governments, developers, and has served as
the primary outlet for excess savings for a high nominal growth economy. IF land prices had been fixed, land auctions were by lottery, and price/sqm paid to local govts rose at CPI+0%, developer margins were fixed at cost plus 10%, and land without permits were returned

@coloradotravis @DereckCoatney @MarketsPuke @FinanceLancelot @INArteCarloDoss @MetreSteven I had to right-click to open the Burry tweet and then the other opened. I followed Carlo, he blocked me for no reason I know, unblocked me, but then soft-blocked I guess. Don't know that I am missing much.

He got the policy part right.
@coloradotravis @DereckCoatney @MarketsPuke @FinanceLancelot @INArteCarloDoss @MetreSteven But so did "most analysis" which talked about the policy change a year ago, or even well longer.

The PBOC in Nov 2018 in its Financial Stability Report singled out Evergrande, Fosun, HNA, Tomorrow Group as companies which control multiple financial intermediaries as well as
@coloradotravis @DereckCoatney @MarketsPuke @FinanceLancelot @INArteCarloDoss @MetreSteven presenting systemic risk, and promised tighter oversight.
HNA was later taken over by the govt. Tomorrow Holdings (that is a story to read) was already on its way to govt takeover. Fosun unwound a bunch of stuff.

A short thread about The Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The US not joining was a mistake.

Joining the TPP was the POLITICAL not TRADE tool that the US needed to stay most involved. Commitment matters.

Not joining was a mistake.
Knowing what people know now, and could plainly see years ago, not joining was a really, really stupid move.

@jpohhhh @adamscochran @LongShortTrader Points of fact and points of insinuation are always problematic when dealing with a thread which just throws 💩 at a wall.

"John Smith worked too hard in a stressful job, and died of a heart attack." A reader might draw the conclusion that stress killed him. But would have
@jpohhhh @adamscochran @LongShortTrader ignored the part about him smoking two packs of cigarettes, eating 9,000 calories a day, and drinking two six-packs a night.

He may have had a stressful job but saying one and ignoring the other doesn't make it accurate.
@jpohhhh @adamscochran @LongShortTrader Look at 3/31. Net income "struggled" the way Amazon's has. The reason is not much debated. Any equity analyst covering the stock will tell you why.

"They were getting very little actual revenue to grow their empire."

Really? The $65 billion in revenue last year was... Image

2.25PWh of generation has no concept of peak usage. It is just electricity. It may not be as useful 24/7 as steady state electricity, but it is just electricity. You count it. You work around its inefficiencies. There are grid problems. etc.

Old, small not-really-utility scale
farms in any modern sense of the word featured in the up-to-2012 data collected for that 2013 NREL report cited do not compete with modern, existing farms for which we have data.

2.25PWh is 1350x the output of the nearly 10yr old Solar Star Farm which is on 3200 acres.
Total of 1350x3200 acres is 6750 sqm. Other large farms are reasonably similar. As also noted repeatedly, Solar Star is not the most efficient in panels or land use. It's old. But it exists.

More modern empirical data exists. One just has to look a little harder for it.
