so how do we short this thing? also, im not sure about giving it only a month more to run. there are alot of ppl in china, and despite 'everybody' mortgaging their houses etc, we dont know exactly how many more ppl there are to buy. and i was also wondering, is fxi just not correlated very much at all w the shanghai 180 index? fxi peaked in early jan but shanghai kept plowing along til feb 5th, and is up big again despite fxi basically not going anywhere
Whole region needs a proper shake up IMHO. Have been playing HKEx red chip and purple chip IPO's for about 2 years and returns are madder than Tech Boom http://baby.boom.com.hk/portfolio/IPO/list.asp . Whats more interesting is the premium at which mainland shares of firms with dual listings trade at. How can shares with same voting rights and equal claim have a differences ? Its gone down a bit but some are in the region of 40% ! Yes l wish l could arbitrage, but not possible . Personally for me the top was when Macaquarie the Aussie investment bank became the 8th firm to launch a fund specifically trading (flipping) IPO's . I hope l am wrong in my beliefs, but if l am proved right then lets hope the region melts Though its not as bad as what happened in Saudi Arabia and Egypt a few moons ago.......
kalzayani 01-24-07 09:53 PM nwd seems OK Buy till 2.0 Will buy some next day 1.55 to 1.6 Now $1.87? Good job Kalzayani but remember you've waisted a lot of posts here on a name that's only moved 20 cents-- of course percentage wise to you it's big-- but most won't care. It's just noodles. But of course there's $'s in those noodles. If you can print $1.90 I would just take my money back and say thank you very much! ~stoney
ANNOUNCING A NEW INDICATOR!!!! THE ELITE TRADER PAGE 4 meltdown!!!!! When a hot sector starts to fade on the pages here at ET I was wondering if I could use that as a sentiment indicator- in that it indicates smart investor's interest is waning. For weeks upon weeks the China Watch List remained proudly on page 1of ET. Then the slip a couple times on p 2 once on p 3.... and now PAGE 4! And China shed 9% OVERNIGHT. Those of you following stonedinvestor have probably noticed he's been selling these names at a good rate. Still in CHINA (the stock) and GIGM- not really a China play but associated..... HELP!
Yeah i pulled outta JADE in the uuper 11's and NWD @ 1.78 and moved a bulk of my funds to OPBL. And very glad i did. I will prolly look to swing on JADE just because of its volitility makes it easy money.

True, fortunately for me was awake tonight ( am in London) and at about 0230am all my stops for stocks on HKEx were knocked almost at once, sure enough after a couple of calls, the 4 Horse of the Apocalypse appeared, been short since , bulls win, bears win and pigs get slaughtered Am l the only one here who is being tempted to start plunging big and proper
quick question.. is there a stuctural limit to the shanghai markets where if a stock trades more than +/- 10%, it stops trading?
