PowerShares Gld Drg Haltr USX China (ETF) (PGJ)

CAPS Rating:
****

Closed end fund.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Even with the market "over heating" China has nearly limitless growth opportunity.

I think economically China will outperform, however, I think people need to realize the difference between economic growth and prices for equities. Economically, I think China will far outpace U.S. and other developed country GDP growth rates for years to come. However, near term it looks like Chi...More

This looks like the best way to cash in on China's growth, unless you have some "inside tips" to help you pick some specific companies. These companies look safer, but also have more upside, than the ones included in the FXI fund.

I think economically China will outperform, however, I think people need to realize the difference between economic growth and prices for equities. Economically, I think China will far outpace U.S. and other developed country GDP growth rates for years to come. However, near term it looks like Chinese equities will continue to suffer. China is actively trying to slow economic growth and as long as they continue to hike interest rates to slow economic growth equities will continue to sell off.

However, as soon as China decided to lower interest rates or hold for a prolonged period of time I would be long China.

So, once again, higher interest rates = slower growth = slower growth in earnings/share per quarter = declining prices in equity.

China's economy is booming, even with inflation. The only problem with this ETF is that it mostly tracks the big state-owned companies, which as the Brothers Fool pointed out, might be a bad thing when the gov stops propping them up and lets the free market take over... but it'll still even out, after some hiccups, because it'll start tracking the new big players.

And over time, the Chinese market will only go up, until they either run out of resources, people, or some cataclysm destroys civilization as we know it.

China will see growth on an economic scale not possible in the U.S. economy, and this ETF is a good way to invest in it.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
