You are back with bloomberg markets, i am a shot salaam in hong kong. Vegas can the bulls keep running . Now to answer the question what will stop this rally, is already stopping . We have two things, we have a technicality where markets get very worried at the end. That is called windowdressing. To some extent. Markets have a bad muscle memory about october. A lot of people take the profits and place to the side. Then what do you put it back into. Then after 10 years of being told you have to be scared of may markets, being out is as big a risk as being in. People need to ask what are the longterm things i want to exploit. These are some of those growth stories. They started but my back they start to put money back in. It is almost a trend that we see. Rishaad what must have been happening with the shenzhen market. Ofs is from the beginning may. That is a pretty decent game. The boardns across here. The thing is you have to be wary when youre investing in china. You can suddenly go pearshaped. January, all the consensus was how terrible china was going to be. There were stories about the u. S. Dollar and what we are seeing this year is the unwinding of that trade. I think a lot of the performance we have had out of china has been catching up to the fact that there are some Great Stories and these tech stories we cant ignore these tech stories. We cant ignore the digital consumer. We know emerging markets in china have jumped straight to digital consumption. Everybody is using their phone to buy everything. Thanks they didnt have the pc revolution. He just sent over those. That is absolutely right.

Here, the point here has to be can you trust the Regulatory Framework . Are you safeguarded enough . Access towant to get the china story and not just the is reallyes it catching the imagination outside of asia. This is a plan without the war. People will say how can i participate in that and become book . Going through the stock connects, these are easier ways to engage.

If we go back to 2000 where we have people getting real money invested in order to build platforms with his new thing called the internet, we may log stuff about the things that went bust, these ideas are getting bitcoin which is the new transactional currency. Their building another platform and the reality is that in 2000, we do not know what amazon was going to do to the retail sector. We now need to be thinking about that this effectively new level of the internet will do for the middlemen. They are all on there. They have to be. Bitcoin is a block chain. Rishaad the block chain letter wherever you use it, bid for housing or stock trading or something, you have to be on that ledger at the same time. It is ais the point, platform. It is like saying you all have to be on the internet. For me, the interesting point about bitcoin is that it is a old. Sactional digital go rishaad it has no intrinsic value. Measured and everybody was trading in gold. The governments control the on and off rep. But how do they tax it on and off ramp. But how do they tax it . It is how you tax and monitor.
