Four Chinese ETFs Worth a Look

Stock quotes in this article:HAO, PGJ, GXC, TAO 

Lastly, increases in government spending on the social safety net and increased efforts to boost consumer credit are expected to encourage consumer spending.

In a nutshell, despite political and ethical issues, which are tempting companies like Google(GOOG) to potentially ditch China, the nation still offers plenty of opportunity. Some possible plays include:

  • the Claymore/AlphaShares China Small Cap(HAO), which closed at $27.69 Wednesday;

  • the PowerShares Gldn Dragon Halter USX China(PGJ), which closed at $24.49 Wednesday;

  • the SPDR S&P China(GXC), which closed at $71.65 yesterday; and

  • the Claymore/AplhaShares China Real Estate(TAO), which closed at $17.19 yesterday.

When investing in China, it is important to keep in mind the inherent risks that are involved. A good to way to minimize these risks is through the implementation of an exit strategy, which triggers price points that represent abnormal price weaknesses in Chinese equities and indicate that further price weaknesses are likely to follow.

According to www.SmartStops.net, the price points for the previously mentioned ETFs are HAO at $26.89; PGJ at $23.68; GXC at $69.82; and TAO at $17.05. These price points fluctuate on a daily basis and are reflective of market conditions and volatility. Updated data can be found at www.SmartStops.net.
