Right so mainly -- the -- slide is what -- Wall Street on this Monday morning slide cracked. That I'm hearing China and -- that these indeed -- the two big things day ever I am talking to as it is insane to me is behind it no reason why -- why China is so important why Wall Street is so worried about it. OK so on kind of a more technical basis that what traders are telling me is that this could be about margin calls. So stay here really invested in China and you borrowed shares to invest in China . And now let's send their market is tanking well guess what your brokers are calling you and saying hey -- make it a margin call. They're saying you need to put up more cash that means you may have to sell things in order to come up with that cash.

   pretty good. All right we like good news -- let's talk about China and we you know it caused a big worldwide drop. In markets some believe the Central Bank has come out against excessive lending but others are wondering if this is because -- a big pile of debt that China doesn't want to talk about so what's really -- Well we don't know what's really going on I think that's part of what's unsettling people but. A lot of economists think that China has kind of a credit bubble similar to what. We saw here in the United States going back to the big housing bubble 20052006. A lot you know they've been easy lending over there pushing property values. The question is is there are a lot of bad -- -- a lot of bad loans out there. And then is can the Chinese Government do something about that so where -- we saw just in the last 24 hours. The Central Bank in China . Basically saying they're going to take some steps to deal with -- which was very reassuring that actually almost -- turn markets around from us really deep route into just basically almost a flat day show. The question in China has really been about about the government's ability. To smooth out problems in for as -- -- it's been over there the government generally has been able to do that so. It's now kind of -- wait and see situation with regard -- this presumed credit bubble in China . I -- of China there is apparently an American CEO there. Refusing to pay severance he's suffering some consequences -- the full story. This is a funny story. Apparently -- this guy he runs a medical supply company in north of Beijing . And he laid off some workers and gave them fairly generous severance packages. And the workers that did not get laid off.

   figure how to way to get out of the window. And the Chinese authorities are not intervening so far they're just sort of letting this guy worked it out -- -- employees probably because there's

   between he says they're putting documents in front of him there in Chinese -- Asking him to sign and he doesn't know what -- signing but he's doing it just to get them off his
