In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:
- China's Warning Shot
- The recent Treasury gambit is classic geopolitics
- Downdraft Risk
- Will it be possible to avoid a crash in 2018?
- Real Estate Is Looking Vulnerable
- Key markets are running out of buyers
- Rising Oil Prices
- A major candidate for the pin to pop this bubble
