There is a meme about nominal GDP over in Endymion's server I believe.

You didnt specify nominal or PPP and many economists are in debate about which is more useful

2018-05-23 05:21:10 UTC  

The nominal GDP the representation of the GDP. The stock market is not the economy, remember that

2018-05-23 05:21:37 UTC  

nominal GDP is basically the economy

PPP takes into consideration how much of those productive produfts people can purchase

2018-05-23 05:22:25 UTC  

stock market is how much stocks are selling determined by the people, selling estimates with 6 months and insider trading.

2018-05-23 05:22:38 UTC  

Which is also why the China stock market is such ass

2018-05-23 05:25:03 UTC  

Also why the top stock exchanges are in the US

2018-05-23 05:25:21 UTC  

with a 20k market cap, blowing Chinas 5k out of the water

🤷 nominal GDP is pretty unstable and not precisely useful unless adjusted. PPP is the more useful adjusment of nominal GDP

Especially in domestic economies like China and India

2018-05-23 05:27:47 UTC  

nah fam, but a good reason why the stock markets for the socialist countries and communist countries are shit

2018-05-23 05:28:03 UTC  

is mainly because there isnt much competition, its mainly owned by the government

2018-05-23 05:28:08 UTC  

so everybody buys the same stock

2018-05-23 05:28:18 UTC  

and when the company gets buttfucked, everyones loses their money

2018-05-23 05:28:22 UTC  

and doesnt invest again

2018-05-23 05:29:15 UTC  

So in a sense, basically nobody wins

Stock markets actually make no sense nor are useful for thingsclike the wellbeingbof citizenry you know things pragmatic China focuses on. 🤔

2018-05-23 05:29:40 UTC  

wellbeingofcitizenry

2018-05-23 05:29:46 UTC  

well you dont want to look at China

2018-05-23 05:29:52 UTC  

its ugly, smells bad

2018-05-23 05:29:58 UTC  

And all you got are cramped low quality condos

2018-05-23 05:30:03 UTC  

everything is expensive as fuck

2018-05-23 05:30:29 UTC  

because a middle class in the US is basically God in China

2018-05-23 05:30:51 UTC  

when you got ice cream 5 dollars a gallon and 100 IMB for a scoop in China

2018-05-23 05:30:59 UTC  

*I went to China once and it definitely hasn't changed at all from my visit*

2018-05-23 05:31:08 UTC  

I went to China 6 times

2018-05-23 05:31:12 UTC  

*Oh and I am an expert now*

2018-05-23 05:31:21 UTC  

about to be 7

2018-05-23 05:31:45 UTC

I mean if I went to detriot and focused just on that i might get the tge impression America sucks.:thinking_face

2018-05-23 05:31:51 UTC  

hell, Im half Chinese

Have you been to every region of China tho

2018-05-23 05:32:26 UTC  

Ive been to Beijing, Shenghei, Hong Kong about 2 times each

2018-05-23 05:32:48 UTC  

When China is moving towards nuclear power and uses 99% of electric buses but is somehow not moving green.

2018-05-23 05:32:50 UTC  

Plus other smaller districts I cant pernounce

2018-05-23 05:33:26 UTC  

who cares if its moving green, its still terrible

When china has the largest hydroelectric and solar plants underway but 'dirty and awful.'

@Donaldus Triumphus it shows China is undergoig change

2018-05-23 05:34:10 UTC  

lol it is dirty and awful, if I DID go to every region in China then that statement would be 90% true

Which means we ought not to jump the gun
