ETFS China

iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI) owns the 25 largest and most liquid Chinese companies, so think of this as investing in the Dow Jones 30 Industrials of China. The top 10 holdings make up more than 60% of the fund so you will be heavily weighted with China Mobile. China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, China Life Insurance, and Bank of China.

iShares FTSE China HK Listed Index (FCHI), is similar to FXI but only owns Chinese stocks that are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It, too, is heavily weighted with financial stocks.

SPDR S&P China (GXC) is managed by State Street and is also a large cap fund with emphasis on financials as well.

PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China (PGJ), isn't as heavily weighted toward large cap financials. It owns a lot of energy (21%), technology (18%), and telecommunications (16%).
Claymore/AlphaShares China All Cap (YAO) is very different from the above ETFs because of its focus on small caps.

Summary:
FXI iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI)
FCHI iShares FTSE China HK Listed Index (FCHI
GCX SPDR S&P China (GXC)
PGJ PowerShares Golden Dragon Halter USX China (PGJ)

Snippets from:

If this is the beginning of a new downtrend, then the action to look for is a rally in the Dow Industrials (Symbol: INDU) back up to 10,500, followed by a break back below 10,200.


Silver SLV ETF Trading
Silver has a funky looking chart. It has formed a large megaphone pattern and possible head & shoulders pattern. Both are bearish and if we use the Head & Shoulders to calculate where silver could end up trading if it continues to break down, then $14.00 would be a level to look for a bounce.

Natural Gas UNG Fund
The natural gas fund UNG has been in a down trend for over a year and the recent drop looks to be the start of another sell off. This could possibly form a reverse head & shoulders pattern with this drop moving UNG down to the $8.75 – $9.00 area. We will have to wait and watch things unfold for now.

Precious metals do look oversold and ready for a small bounce or sideways move; I do think they will head lower. Too many traders are still holding on to their gold positions and until a large number of them get scared out of their positions, we will not see gold rocket higher.

Never argue with the tape..

When I am long of stocks it is because my reading of conditions has made me bullish. But you find many people, reputed to be intelligent, who are bullish because they have stocks. I do not allow my possessions - or my prepossessions either – to do any thinking for me. That is why I repeat that I never argue with the tape.

Circumstances

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in the world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them.
