"whether or not people were burned by using ZH for trading tips"

I never said anything about "trading tips," just that ZH has proven itself to be built upon a pile of rumor mill excrete.

…that everyone from cnbc reporters, economists, peeps at nanex and billionaires have felt the need on occasion to participate with to varying degrees. So now that's out of the way, what do you really want to add to topic at hand?

Well thanks for the inquiry.

I think the take on ZH's reporting seems rather correct. If the controls only apply to Citibank then the phrasing of the the article's headliner is a bit much. As for the meat of the subject Citibank has been a laggard[0] entity for some years, after the great recession and all.

I think that makes it even more interesting when you think about them in the context of their peers, and considering it has been a cyclical bear market since 2000, would you say this is a one off or a sign of more things to come in general in the current environment in china?

One of the reasons I expressed bother that ZH didn't link to the report they cited was my lack of view into the China. Heck my best metric is valuation of US stock of a company registered in the US, not it's sister/brother in a different nation. Typically though there is no major divide in reaction to core stability across markets. Not much of a comment on China just Citi, ZH, parent article.
