When I say 'by a lot' I do not mean go and buy a lot, OK?

The Hang Seng is the biggest loser on regional exchanges here, China not too far behind:

  • Japan's Nikkei +2%
  • Australia S&P/ASX +1.7%
  • China Shanghai Comp -0.3%
  • HK's Hang Seng -0.8%

The latest from HK is the local legislature has been suspended adjourned, tensions between pro-democracy and pro-China establishment high and rising.

Still waiting on this:

When I say 'by a lot' I do not mean go and buy a lot, OK?

Good luck with that.
