COMMENT

This is an ETF for China and he would recommend this because it has a pretty liquid options market on it. If he is going to play China, he wants to hedge it a little bit. He thinks China is slowing down and could be slower than the 8.5% predicted.

COMMENT
Have 25 of the largest Industrials owned in China. This is a bet on China which is a country that is growing at greater than 7%. At the end of the day he feels this is really an image of what the Chinese economy really is.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 8/10. Up 1.22%.) Got out 5-6 months ago at a small profit.
COMMENT
Xinhua China 25 ETF includes the 25 leading companies in China. Good for a long term but be careful because interest rates may be rising and inflation could e moving up. Longer term this should be fine.
COMMENT
US and Chinese market have been step in step since 2002-2003 but the Chinese market peaked last November and is actually in worse condition now than the North American markets. Doesn't seem to be the leader anymore, otherwise it would be trading better.
DON'T BUY
He plays emerging markets through others. This one is too new. The liquidity needs to be there. You have to look at how emerging market ETFs are hedging their currencies.
DON'T BUY
Theory that emerging markets are going to lift US economy out of recession is questionable. A number of issues including China having its currency pegged, the cutbacks, cooling off the housing market, etc. Also based in US$’s so would prefer something that was hedged.
DON'T BUY
Xinhua China 25 ETF. This is not a great way to play China as it is heavily weighted in Chinese financial services stocks. 3-year chart looks like a falling wedge is about to break out. Chart indicates it is starting to test some key support levels.
TOP PICK
Xinhua China 25 ETF. Holds 25 of the largest most liquid Chinese companies. In the last 10 years, the Chinese economy has doubled. Looking forward by 2050 China is expected to be the largest economy.
COMMENT
Xinhua China 25 ETF. Prefers more diversified ETFs. Specific country is too concentrated. However, the 25 stocks in this one is probably the best way to get broad exposure if you want to focus expressly on China.
WEAK BUY
20% of his revenues come from Asia, but they don’t have to be domiciled in China. Make sure it is no more than 5% of your portfolio. China fell 70% last year.
BUY
China is going to do well. Mostly made up of stocks. China is much faster larger entity that other Asia countries.
COMMENT
(Question was about shorting this.) Wouldn't Short this as he feels China has a lot of opportunity. You ignore the emerging markets at your own peril.
DON'T BUY
Any fund that is only 25 securities is quite concentrated. May want to look more at an emerging market ETF. Comment applies to IFN-US, FXI-US. Prefers XIU-T
DON'T BUY
China is the best stock market in 2009. But he is not comfortable owning it.
