iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index (ETF) (AMEX:FXI)

Good to hold, might not be the best time to buy but look for the lows which do happen enough to hold out for one.

fast growth

Grow China Grow.

a long term hold...ride the bull

China ETF -> P/E around 16, growth rate of its holdings is easily 20%. That says "deal."

I believe China's correction will continue, but this is a good price point to get in. China should outpeform in the next 5 years because of the rapid industrialization of the countryside.

I also believe the Olympic Games will bring more prestige and credibility to the Chinese economy.

I think China will continue to do well.

us stocks remain flat investors seeking new opertunities

CHINA ETF ...YIELD- %1.26

China is growing.

This should dip downwards for awhile and then repeat last year's path with record gains.

EFT Focused on the China Market. China is a rapidly growing market, the best way to a small investor to participate in this growth is to use EFT's.

41% of FXI is financials, and the collapse of China's banking system (with its ~$1 TRILLION in bad loans) is inevitable. When it comes, it will be ugly everywhere (including the S

Hmm, let's take out a mortgage and take a cash advance on the old credit card and put it in stocks, which only go up of course...

I believe in the China boom and this looks to be a nifty basket of goodies. These are some of the best companies in an economy growing in the double digits. The S&P 500 index has an average P/E of 17.46 and P/Cash Flow of 11.35. FXI has and average P/E of 12.72 and P/Cash Flow of 5.76 (from Yahoo Finance). The coupling of high growth prospects with apparently cheap overall valuation makes this investment seem fairly certain.

China's upside with the benefits diversification.

the US is broke financing the war. it'll go ingto bankruptcy and during that time this etf will climb fast. the Yuan is gradually going up in value month over month. if you look at yahoo FX exchange chart you will se a steady ratchetting of the Yuan. you will also note if you compare most other currencies the are erratic up and down.....Yuan is rock steady. yet US claims China the money manipulator!!!hahahaha I know the truth.
Bankruptcy just like in the '70s, gold will hit $3000 or more as the dollar lost big then till it was funded by the IMF.

Look for this ETF to rebound this week.

With a history spanning over two years, iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund (FXI) has gained a lot of momentum and has already attracted more assets as compared to the other 45 mutual funds and ETFs in the Pacific/Asia ex-Japan category.

Providing undiluted exposure to a rapidly growing and trendy economic powerhouse, its index consists of 25 of the largest and most-liquid Chinese companies that trade in Hong Kong. Thereby it allows investors to gain access to well-established mainland firms while avoiding the various challenges that come with most of the other Chinese companies.

With heavy exposure in finance, telecom and energy sector, the fund has enough opportunities to endorse the growing industry’s fundamentals of the country. As the government reduces public spending but consumer demand and investments remain strong, the nation's gross domestic product is expected to grow at around 9 percent in 2007. As China's growth is outstripping the US and the rest of the world with capital markets being still at nascent stage, the fund envisages an positive outlook.

Analyzing the past returns, it shows that the fund has given hefty returns. It has managed to book an average annualized yearly return of 29.75% as of September 2006, against 30.42% being recorded by the benchmark index. In short, FXI is a welcome, low-cost addition to the pricey diversified emerging markets category, and it should be of particular interest to investors who are drawn to the tax efficiency, trading flexibility, and other attributes of ETFs.
