How to Trade China with ETFs
Right now, China is celebrating 60 years of Communist party rule. Most of the party-goers aren’t old enough to remember anything else, of course, but that isn’t stopping the nationwide festivities.
The sheer scale of China is mind-boggling! Just think about it …
- 1.3 billion people — more than 4x the U.S. population …
- 3.7 million square miles …
- And borders that touch 14 other nations!

It’s time to make a big bet and begin investing in China.
I know. It’s not exactly a popular stance. And the smart money is doing exactly the opposite. Or so it appears…
Yesterday, the Royal Bank of Scotland hit up the China ATM for a $2.37 billion withdrawal. It sold its entire 4.3% stake in Bank of China. And a week ago, Bank of America cashed out part of its stake in China Construction Bank Corp. for an estimated $2.83 billion.
Making matters worse, the MSCI China Index lost a record 53% last year. It’s counter-intuitive and near impossible to rationalize adding…
19Jan2009 | Investment U | 0 comments | ContinuedFive Ways to Profit From China’s $585 Billion Stimulus Plan
The $585 billion (RMB4 trillion) stimulus package that China announced Sunday may or may not help China’s economy. But with investments in low-income housing, water and energy projects, airports, disaster relief – and $100 billion for new railroads – over the next two years, this financial package provides oodles of opportunities for investors.
There is no doubt China needs infrastructure. Now the world’s fourth-largest economy, China has grown so rapidly that many of its services are stretched beyond belief. Equally, it is not so certain that the government knows what infrastructure to build, or that it can be built, without…

An old Wall Street adage holds that “the trend is your friend,” a precept that we wholeheartedly subscribe to. Indeed, as we’ve often told readers, the very best…

Dubai has plenty of qualities that catch an investor’s eye.
-The emirate has the world’s only (self-proclaimed) 7-star hotel.
-Dubai also is home to the biggest financial market in the Middle East, which is itself publicly quoted and trades at 25 times forecast 2008 earnings.
-It has been enjoying one of the greatest construction booms the world has ever seen.
-And Dubai is planning a huge tourist expansion, aiming to boost that sector to more than the 18% of the economy it already accounts for.

23Jul2008 | Money Morning | Comments Off | ContinuedInvesting in China: Wrestling this Growing Behemoth
Unless you’ve been asleep for the past 10 years, you know that the hot investment ideas all come from China these days. It makes sense. With 1/5th of the world’s population, and a stronger desire to gain “developed country†status than any other country in the world, China has presented everyone with strong growth opportunities.
Unfortunately, most investors just don’t get it. They’ve been buying up stocks just because they say “China” in their names. It’s just like 1999, when people bought stocks just because they ended with “dot-com.” And we all know how that turned out.
I’ve been laying it all…
