| An announcement on November 16 by Bespoke Investment Group revealed an interesting observation. China's Shanghai Composite Index, which has fallen 72% from its peak last October 2007, hit a low on November 4, 2008. The announcement noted that this index has now moved above both the top channel downtrend line and the 50-day simple moving average for the first time since January 2008. Is this a buy signal for the Chinese market? One way of playing the small but highly volatile Chinese stock market is through the iShares FTSE China exchange traded fund (ETF)(FXI). As we see from Figures 1 and 2, average daily volume is currently above 60 million shares and weekly volume nearly 200 million shares, so there is lots of liquidity. |

| Figure 1 is of a daily chart of FXI, showing the smart money signals and a bear flag chart pattern. Bear flags can take weeks to form and although counter to the larger trend, they are playable on a short-term basis. In Figure 2, we see a weekly chart of FXI showing a drop from above $70 to a low of $20.40 and a recent bounce. This chart is bearish and highly oversold, suggesting that a bounce may be in the cards. But given the very high relative volume currently on both charts, this could be a capitulation, which often is a precursor to a serious bounce, at the very least. |
