[arzoyan]

Capitalism, Corporate or State dominated or In It together is the wage slavery of immense humanity for abstract process of Capital accumulation and concentration for the elite, 250 top corporations control over 1/3 of the world GDP. More than 3 billion workers are on 2 dollars a day. Capitalism is template of perpetual war,oppression,enviornmental destructions,animal cruelty and suffering, A dehumanising distorting minority imposition in thier inatiable drive for ever more Profit no matter what

this china bull really sucks, he is such a joker.

[hulkmam3]

why can't they evaporate water from the ocean and separate the water from the salt?

[mathpianist93]

@hulkmam3: you know how inefficient (time, money) even the thought of that could potentially be?

[hulkmam3]

@mathpianist93 true but if they did it like one big project and built a big lake and got it out of the way. then it is one less problem to deal with.

Water? Is this guy on drugs?

[wikct2]

why you think he is on drugs? I guess it is very rare for you to hear someone in favor of China, right? For sure you would not hear any comments in favor of China.

[0112337]

excuse me? I don't understand your logic.

The man is saying that the biggest challenge facing China is water. Yes, of all things, water.

With nearly 1 trillion dollar of reserves, the Chinese could very well desalinize sea water. They got the money to do it.

Any fool could have figured that out.

[darthvader5300]

invest in nuclear powered atmospheric water generators, use close-loop water recycling in water in industries and businesses and in residential areas. And it is attitude toward humanity that is a problem, if a cow is born in Africa we applaud it but if it is a human being we view it negatively but then of what use is a cow without a human being to use it? Every human being born is a potential treasure only if we culturally and educationally nurture and cultivate that human being

[dellamalo]

If you guys want to make some money on China's water shortage invest in "PHO".

[Tasadaru]

Photocure ASA?

[dellamalo]

PHO - PowerShares Water Resources (ETF)

and

GCW - Claymore S&P Global Water Index (ETF)

[killbotfelwick]

Are you kidding me?

China needs to do something about their population!!!

[johnnytm]

we need faster technological advancement not population reduction, We need to grow 10X more food on that same plot of land, cut down water usage by 90% per capita usage by new technology and space exploration to extract infinite amount of resources outside of our planet. Too much people thinking within the box nowadays.

[formulaprimer]

Key word is I'll make more in silver. Have to listen very carefully so see what really the pros are doing.

[Tasadaru]

There are people like Mike Maloney and Ted Butler who argue that there is 5 times more gold than silver. Why silver is not in the hundreds of dollars is beyond me. Imagine silver going to parody with gold.

[controlpopulation]

The real problem in China is their population size, not water.. China will never reach its full potential until they dramatically lower its population. The US is having the same problem here as well. We are well over 335k for population and its not a coincidence our standard of living and local communities are deteriorating. The whole world needs to work together to lower population so wars over resources will never be faught. Unfortunately, govts, corps and churches want more people.

[KhanSlayer]

lol. I think its hilarious that based upon your name that is the first sentence you make.

[micronews3000]

By what reference material are you making the assertion that the U.S. standard of living has fallen with the rise in population? Per capita GDP in the US has been rising WITH the population since 1935 until 2007. Its corruption of government that is the biggest impedement to providing adequate resources to populations. I challenge you to find any country whose per capita GDP has decreased while population has increased over the past 20 years who did not have a corrupt central government.

[controlpopulation]

First, GDP has nothing to do with standard of living. They call America the wealthiest country in the world, but drive around any city big and small and you will realize our wealth applies to a select few.

After volunteering at food kitchens for the last 10 years, I can tell you that the amount of people needing food assistance has quadrupled over the last decade. Yes, even with your so called increasing GDP.

More population means less resources for all. Its common sense.

[Tasadaru]

"More in silver than in gold."

You heard it. For all the people with little money, get silver not gold.

[Nexus974]

Silver could get quite a bump in the next year or so. In the meantime, $13-$15 an ounce is a price even poor people like me can afford.

[Tasadaru]

Hey man. You should check out this guy called Ted Butler. He argues that there is 5 times more silver than gold. I'm not joking. If that's true than silver should surpass gold in price. Those gold medalists will probably wish they had a silver medal instead. Also, Mike Maloney cites in his book "Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver" the USGS saying that there are 25 years left of silver in the ground and 30 years of gold in the ground. Silver ftw!

[zeitgeisthero]

The amount of times jim says "im a horrible trader" is troubling !? Did Jim just say "gold went up 50% in the last 4-5 months" at 3:30 ? Sorry Jim your wrong ! Gold at 700 in Oct or even Sept is not up 50%. That would make gold at 1400 ? Gold toped out at 1000. I would expect Jim to know this, come on !?

[Spura83]

50% of 700 is 350. 700+350 = 1050.

I wish I could give you more than 1 thumbs down for this.

[KhmerD0g]

i'll do that for u.

[brian12934]

Hahaha Spura, I'm with you on that one!

[5K2aM]

omg..You failed your mathematics. Go back to school!

[KhmerD0g]

jim is so honest. he even call CNBC's boss a fraud even when he is a guest on the show. did this video gets to air or leak to youtube only?

[Nexus974]

just in Asia.
