Buying frenzy in China market

1st-time investors buy up Chinese stocks (AP)

AP - After watching Chinese stock prices gallop upward for months, Ding Xiurui wanted a piece of the action. The 45-year-old office worker stood in line at a bustling brokerage Friday to open her first trading account. She brought her sister, who opened an account too. They joined millions of other novice investors who are jumping into a market that has soared to dizzying heights, with prices up nearly 50 percent this year.

***What will happen if this turns out like the 1929 Wall Street Crash?  Is China prepared for a bubble burst?
