You guys seriously gonna short ptr? I was considering it with a conservative stop but it seems like playing with fire...
i bought a 210 November put to hedge out some other longs I have (not chinese)... but yes, playing with fire. I wouldn't dare outright short it.. Not in this market. If Chinese govt came out and said HK/Shanghai arb is a no go and/or Shanghai actually had a long overdue correction, this would shave 50 pts in a second.
Chinese Govt is the wild card. Now that they have found that they can talk markets up or down they seem to be making the most of it.
