China is the sleeping dragon. If we dare not to awake it, then people shouldn't do it. Never play with the fire if you don't know how to handle it.
US is the best place to fulfill the need of economic flow. Mutual Funds always put US as the center of its activities.
Hi bro, Glad to read your post again. I think people will consider to put their money to other instruments besides banks. Stock, Obligation, or Mutual Funds are highly proved can bring better yield that saving account.
Mutual funds are a good option although I prefer to invest by purchasing stocks of companies I feel are ethical, don't test on animals etc etc.
