Hi everyone,

 

I hope the New Year is as prosperous as the last one for you all.

 

 Firstly, I have to thank a poster who advised me on how to get hold of some stock that tracks the NASDAQ… in at 1300 and looking strong I reckon.  I would also like to thank McDunk on all his comments and the way he simplifies investing down to common sense.  I personally think that anyone can beat the market with this.  On the other hand to do it year in year out is another matter…. And in a bear market is a whole different kettle of fish!  I used McDunk’s investing philosophy when looking at the NASDAQ and it has treated me well.

 

As well as McDunk, a big thank you to snoopy and all the posts.  They are always well researched and informative.  Also Phaedrus and his charts.  I’m still contemplating how you can tell what a share price will do from what it did the day/week/month before but I might figure it out one day.  Well I suppose if you are one of Socrates students you can concoct stories to beguile us all ;-)

 

Anyway, I was wondering how to get hold of passive funds or listed equities that track china’s markets.  I’m backing 10% economic growth for a few years to come (again, the school of common sense) and would like to get involved but only in a Macro level.  Any ideas (but keep it simple as I’ve only been investing for a couple of years.  If I see FX, hedging or gold in a reply I will cry!).

 

Thanks in advance for your replies and happy New Year.

 

Daryl
