The China short (via the leveraged YANG) is now covered (ref. May 5 post) not because I think it is not going to go up more, but because I am a chicken. I have never claimed to be anything other than a cash valuing risk manager. The heroic shorting is for others until I can get new longer-term trends. China’s trend, along with the US and others, is still up. Not talking about secular trends, but rather intermediate ones, defined here as multi-month.
In reviewing the chart of FXI, I see something similar to the European Euro hedged ETF and several other items that may make good cases for re-buying, not shorting, eventually. There is some of this going on in US stocks as well. Think healthcare/biotech.
I don’t think the corrections are over with, but I am not ready to become a bear because I don’t see an intermediate term reason to yet. So it’s swing trading and cash defaulting for this chicken until trends change.
Back on the China 25 ETF above, it is not over sold yet but down the road, pending the view on the broad global markets, I am watching the area from which we charted the breakout in NFTRH. That would be around 42-44.
