    Shocking. A Chinese bank missed estimates in a year when half of Asia’s lenders were already sinking under property loans nobody wants to price honestly. Analysts “expected” better numbers, the same analysts who called every bad quarter a “temporary headwind” until the headwinds became the weather. Nobody reads a transcript to learn the obvious. Next up: water is wet, and the Fed is still pretending it knows what it’s doing.
