I've been buying China/HK stocks last few days too.

I think it's pretty much only following the broad market trend. When (if) market starts to recover, it will follow. Just a feel.
Do you think broad market correction is on its way? I'm just seeing sidelines now (with perhaps a rather moderate +/- 3% range), neither up or down trend.

thanks for the feedback.
always up and down doubts around, and this is stock market all about.
a 10% correction will put apple back to 480 area.
17 jan, china mobile will start selling iphones.

I fully agree that it's not a short term catalyst, but a long term one. The positive on Apple links with China Mobile is to ride along China's growth story, which is very much intact so far. If China able to continue growing at 5%-7% GDP for the next 10 years, we can imagine the buying power from steady growth of middle class, that would be huge. China people "want face", as long as Apple able to maintain its prestigious brand icon and not going cheap, I see middle class (in fact, especially middle class since half-bottle-water people "want face" much stronger than upper class/successful people. I see youngsters using iphone in KL, lots of them. While some big boss choose Note 3 because their eyes no good already and need a big screen, they don't care brand-name). So buying Apple today is target at holding it for 5 years or above. Those who buy for the hope of short term gain might be disappointed. But not related to you lah, you are swing player, more swing more gain type.

btw, I'm thinking this correction of QE tapering may not be as aggressive as many hope. The bottom line is world economy is improving. In this case, QE immediately becomes less priority to the market. I watched a talk show just now by China experts regarding QE tapering effect to China economy. From there, I can see the bears were getting out of word after some debates, the bulls seem to have much stronger sayings regarding issues (ie. money tightening, bond yield raising etc.). I almost saw a KO on the bears in the show.

danmooncake, you wish comes true. deep red today. wish to see Apple back to 500 best.

a longer pullback is good for me too, cause i wanna continue accumulate at low.

damn the bull is so strong cannot tired.

sigh! now Apple really heading towards to breakout 570 recent high. No chance to pick up my 4th batch....yet, unless 27th report shows disappointing earnings.

as you (and I ) wish, 540.
give me 520.

HK market only rebounded less than 1%, already time to sell?

Yes, it's my regular monitoring ETF. One in Bursa too, the cimbc25 which is a xinhua 25 etf.
if it wants to revisit the low, that would be another 10-15% decline. My average buying price is at about current level.
it's now on the first support line....very hard to see if it would move up or down....but if looking at mid term graph, it seems more likely on the bearish trend....
however, fundamentally speaking, i'll just continue buying if it moves downwards considering that's a steal.

my cimb platform will be able to trade US's ETF next week onwards on the NYSEArca. So finally I can short the market through inverse ETFs! Need your recommendations on those by then. In mind now are the ETF to long/short the US, HK and SSE index market, and also the Gold, crude oil and palm oil. Are these ETFs exist? There is no "deadline" on ETFs right? Can hold forever one right?

cool! thanks man!

damn, this apple really stubborn! where is my bear bear! party ruin by this Icahn!

that bear triggers me to continue adding HK/china stocks....

I think the bear may not benefit more than 8% from here for the China....?....

SP500 is trying to break that 1805 line. if successful, may test 1750 soon....?.....

just some wild guess.
