Chinese stocks could be in for another wild ride during July, and Chinese solar stocks could be dragged into the mess. The two most volatile Chinese solar stocks, TSL (Last trade $44.63) and JASO (Last trade $29.21), seem particularly vulnerable to wild swings in Shanghai.

Reports from reputable scientific groups like the Global Carbon Project of Australia indicate the rise in global carbon dioxide emissions last year exceeded even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) predictions. This is pretty alarming, considering the IPCC is far from optimistic.

Are China's Environmental Policies Just Lip Service?

a burgeoning economy and fending off pressures of global warming has, is, and will continue to be an interesting challenge for the Chinese government. China is a ratified member of the Kyoto Protocol (has been since 2002), yet is now the world's top emitter of greenhouse gases. Just three years ago, China had emitted approximately 54% of the greenhouse gases of the United States. Even though the United States is still easily the largest emitter of greenhouse gases per capita, this is a testament to China's growth. But what can we say about China's commitment to combat global warming?

Barrons Article on Gambling Stocks May Finally Provide a Catalyst for their Fall

Throughout the mania of the expansion of the moneyed class in China, I've watched the gambling stocks with the frustration of "I should have seen this coming" as Las Vegas Sands (LVS - $118.76) made its meteoric rise. But for much of this year I've been thinking that the gambling stocks were overvalued, and didn't want to short them until I saw a catalyst that would drive them down. Perhaps this Barrons article that focuses on Las Vegas Sands (LVS - $118.76), Wynn Resorts (WYNN - $134.50 ) and MGM (MGM - $88.62) is it. Judy Weill, SeekingAlpha editor, provides a nice summary. If you want to read the actual article at Barrons.com, it will cost you.

I do think gambling will continue to have a great future for those who invest in it. As I heard Charlie Munger say at the 2007 Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting, gambling is a tax on the uninformed. But heck, the uninformed just keep getting richer. For now, these gambling stocks with a Chinese connection are way ahead of themselves. They are pricing in google-like growth rates in earnings. I do not think they will see that type of earnings growth, which can only mean that stock prices have to drop to meet reality.
